Rent Determination
Payment standards are used to calculate the housing assistance payment (HAP) the Glendale Housing Authority (GHA) pays to the owners on
behalf of the family leasing the unit. The level at which the payment standard amount is set directly affects the amount of subsidy a family will
receive, and the amount of rent paid by program participants. Each Housing Authority must adopt a payment standard schedule that establishes
voucher payment standard amounts for each FMR area. The Glendale has chosen to keep the payment standard at 110% of the HUD published Fair
Market Rents (FMR).
However, Glendale is one of the Housing Authorities chosen to participate in the implementation of the Small Area Fair Market Rents (SAFMRs).
The ZIP code-based fair market rents (FMRs) will be used to set payment standards, rather than a single FMR. Implementation can begin as of
October 1, 2024, with a full implementation date of January 1, 2025.
Updates were made to the 2024 Admin and ACOP plans due to HOTMA regulations. The summary of changes are as follows:

(c) The PHA must submit its Deconcentration Policy for Field Office Review.
The Deconcentration Policy is described as a part of the Housing Administrative Plan and is in Chapter 7.5.7 on page 62. The Administrative plan
is part of the City of Glendale’s Council approval process. Resolution # is XXXXX and approved on April 9, 2024.
New Activities.
(a) Does the PHA intend to undertake any new activities related to the following in the PHA’s current Fiscal Year?
Y N
Hope VI or Choice Neighborhoods.
Mixed Finance Modernization or Development.
Demolition and/or Disposition.
Conversion of Public Housing to Tenant Based Assistance.
Conversion of Public Housing to Project-Based Rental Assistance or Project-Based Vouchers under RAD.
Project Based Vouchers.
Units with Approved Vacancies for Modernization.
Other Capital Grant Programs (i.e., Capital Fund Community Facilities Grants or Emergency Safety and Security Grants).
(b) If any of these activities are planned for the current Fiscal Year, describe the activities. For new demolition activities, describe any public
housing development or portion thereof, owned by the PHA for which the PHA has applied or will apply for demolition and/or disposition approval
under section 18 of the 1937 Act under the separate demolition/disposition approval process. If using Project-Based Vouchers (PBVs), provide the
projected number of project-based units and general locations, and describe how project basing would be consistent with the PHA Plan.
GHA is in consideration of repositioning two sites:
1.
Lamar Homes, built in 1942 and sits on approximately 2.9 acres located at 61st Avenue and Lamar Road. There are 23 buildings and 51
units at this site, ranging in size from 530- 980 square feet. This property has 5 one bedrooms, 31 two bedrooms, 13 three bedrooms and 2
four bedrooms.
2.
Glendale Homes was built in 1951 and sits on approximately 9.6 acres near 52nd Avenue and Ocotillo Road. At this location there are 35
buildings and 70 units ranging in size from 550 to 1,000 square feet. This property has 6 one bedrooms, 36 two bedrooms, 20 three
bedrooms and 8 four bedrooms.
Buildings at both properties are single-story, block construction, wood framed trusses, and asphalt shingle roofs. Both housing communities have
exceeded the typical life span for single family homes. Expected and useful life span of infrastructure has been far exceeded (i.e., sewer lines,
potable water piping, underground electrical, underground gas lines, interior electrical and plumbing, foundations, HVAC system design, insulation,
etc.). A consultant completed a Physical Condition Analysis in 2022 identifying issues and anticipated future expenses. Mounting annual capital
needs for property maintenance and renovation are not met by HUD funding allocations. Property footprint/space is not efficiently utilized
regarding unit density and meeting current community needs for greater numbers of 1, 3 and 4 bedrooms.
Guidelines and regulations will be met in this consideration along with GHA requesting HUD TA assistance.
B.3
Progress Report.
Provide a description of the PHA’s progress in meeting its Mission and Goals described in the PHA 5-Year Plan.
As stated in the prior year’s annual report GHA has a main goal to provide safe and affordable housing for eligible families through the Public
Housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs. GHA through HUD funding can help Foster Youth kids and our Veterans through the VASH
program. The VASH program is 90% leased up and the two needed to make it 100% are searching for their home. GHA will be working with the
Phoenix VA Center in requesting additional VASH vouchers when the PIH notice comes out in August of 2024.
GHA continues to provide an improved living environment by using the Capital funds wisely and efficiently. Listed in Section B.4 are the projects
completed for the well-being of the communities. Strategic planning takes place each year to identify the capital needs of the three properties with
the consideration to resident input.
GHA is using the new THRIVE program (City of Glendale Community Services) to enhance Family Self Sufficiency in the FSS Program. The
Thrive/FSS Coaches assist participants with case management, advocacy, counseling, and referrals. Educational resources including short term and
technical careers with certifications are free with no cost to the participant. Assistance is given with budgeting, homeownership preparation, credit
counseling, and improving their FICO score. There are several resources available in the community they are referred.
GHA has 50 FSS slots in total. Of these 50, thirty-seven are mandatory and thirteen are voluntary. As of date 48 slots have been filled. The
coaches have arranged credit counseling classes. The attendees received their three credit reports and explained in detail how to read and understand
their reports. They developed their action plans. Then participants attended another class in which they developed their own Vision Boards for
2024. This sharing experience will help our participants to know and understand what they want for themselves in the future and how they need to
get there.
GHA always strives to do their best for their community. This hard work paid off and the GHA was awarded the HIGH Performer Status from the
prior year as Standard. GHA will always strive to do the best they can for their community and their residents.

May apply for benefits for others in the household and not for themselves.
•
Only one person in the household, regardless of age, must be a U.S. citizen or a qualified immigrant to be eligible
for the program.
