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:

  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

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.

housing issues and contributing factors.)  Until such time as the PHA is required to submit an AFH, the PHA is not obligated to complete 
this chart.  The PHA will fulfill, nevertheless, the requirements at 24 CFR § 903.7(o) enacted prior to August 17, 2015. See Instructions for

MIXED-IMMIGRATION STATUS HOUSEHOLDS 
It is the policy of GHA to ensure that steps are taken to ensure the administration of the HCV  and Public Housing programs is designed 
to aid mixed-immigration status households in accessing services. GHA’s application process allows a person who is not applying for 
benefits for themselves, to be designated as a non-applicant. To be clear any adult member of a household: 
• 
May apply for benefits for themselves and for others in the household. 
• 
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. 
• 
An adult who does not claim program eligibility and is applying for benefits for others in the household will not be 
asked about their immigration status or whether they have a Social Security Number.
