2026 Housing Admin Plan & ACOP Changes

Each year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development requires the city to adopt 
changes to its Agency Plan. Included in this plan are the policy documents that govern 
the two programs administered by the Glendale Housing Authority.  The documents 
include the Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy (Conventional Public Housing 
Program) and the Housing Choice Voucher Administrative Plan (Housing Choice Voucher 
Program). 
 
The plan changes to be effective July 1, 2026, include minor changes. Both plans can be 
found on the city’s website: www.glendaleaz.gov/live/cityservices/community 
services/strategic Plans & Reports
