Executive Summary
ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
The Consolidated Plan is a document submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that serves as a comprehensive housing affordability strategy, community development plan and submission for funding under any of HUD’s entitlement formula grant programs.

The Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development was established through legislation passed by the U.S. Congress in 1990. Under the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, jurisdictions that receive federal entitlement funds for housing and community development activities are required to prepare a comprehensive three-to five-year plan for using those funds.

The entitlement formula utilizes population information, poverty and overcrowded housing data to establish funding allocations. The City of Glendale (the “City”) qualifies as a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership, and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) entitlement City based on the grant formula. The City coordinates its efforts to provide a balanced approach to community needs using its available resources. A five-year strategic plan has been developed by the City of Glendale that identifies and prioritizes the future use of the City’s CDBG, ESG, and HOME funds. The 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan covers the timeframe from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030.

This Consolidated Plan was prepared using the eCon Planning Suite system developed by HUD. The system prescribes the structure and contents of this document, following the Federal Consolidated Planning regulations.

2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview
The City of Glendale incorporated outcome measures for activities in accordance with the Federal Register Notice dated March 7, 2006, which require the following Performance Measure Objectives/Outcomes to be associated with each activity funded:

General Objective Categories- Activities will meet one of the following:
• Decent Housing (DH)
• A Suitable Living Environment (SL)
• Economic Opportunity (EO) General

Outcome Categories- Activities will meet one of the following:
• Availability/Accessibility (1)
• Affordability (2)
• Sustainability (3)

Consolidated Plan GLENDALE 2
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
In addition to national objectives and performance outcomes, the City must weigh and balance the input from different groups and assign funding priorities that best bridge the gaps in the City’s service delivery system. While other goals the City has set are also important, for the purposes of the Consolidated Plan, only those which are anticipated to be funded with CPD funding programs (CDBG, HOME, and ESG) during the five-year planning cycle, are indicated to be high priorities. The City utilizes other funding sources to meet goals that are not considered high priority in the Consolidated Plan. The City established priorities for allocating CPD funds based on a number of criteria, including:

• Urgency of needs
• Cost efficiency
• Eligibility of activities/programs
• Availability of other funding sources to address specific needs • Funding program limitations
• Capacity and authority for implementing actions
• Consistency with Citywide goals, policies, and efforts

Needs which have been determined to be a High Priority level will receive funding during the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The priorities for the FY 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, established in consultation with residents and community groups, include the following:

• Homeless
• Public Facilities
• Public Social Services
• Public/Neighborhood Improvements
• Housing

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)).

In order to perform outreach to various agencies and organizations, the City compiled an outreach list consisting of different agencies, including:
• Nonprofit service providers that cater to the needs of low and moderate income households and persons with special needs, including persons with disabilities; • Affordable housing providers;
• Housing advocates;
• Housing professionals;
• Public and quasi-public agencies (such as school districts, health services, public works), including those that address emergency and hazard management as well as digital divide; • Economic development and employment organizations; and • Community and neighborhood groups.

The complete outreach list is included in Appendix B. These agencies were invited to attend the community workshops and meetings as well as to participate in the community needs survey. Specific agencies were also contacted to obtain data in preparation of this Consolidated Plan.

The City of Glendale (City) has a robust system of coordination and collaboration with assisted housing providers, health, mental health and service agencies. The City’s homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) is compromised of the Glendale CoC Committee, Glendale CoC Board, Coordinated Entry System (CES) Council and sub-committee. The City also collaborates with the Glendale Healthier Community Coalition, Crescenta Valley Alliance, and with housing providers such as Habitat for Humanity, Ascencia, Door of Hope, The Salvation Army, Home Again LA, formerly Family Promise of Verdugo’s, Armenian Relief Society, YWCA of Glendale and Pasadena, Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, and Community Development and Housing’s Section 8 and HOME sections provide information and feedback on coordinating housing and social service activities. This coordinated effort primarily involved the City sponsoring community meetings and focus groups for community residents and community agencies.

The City also manages federal Workforce Investment Opportunity Act programs and coordinates its HUD entitlement programs with the Verdugo Workforce Investment Board for economic development program assistance.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness The Glendale Continuum of Care (CoC) and the Glendale Consolidated Plan jurisdictions cover the exact same geography. The CoC receives local, County, State, and Federal funds to provide a variety of homeless programs and services in Glendale including, Coordinated Entry System (CES); Homeless Prevention; a 45-bed Emergency Shelter (operated by lead CES Agency Ascencia); a 16 bed facility Draft

Consolidated Plan GLENDALE 8
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
operated by the YWCA of Glendale and Pasadena for victims of domestic violence; Transitional Housing Permanent Supportive Housing; Rapid Re-Housing, Outreach and Case Management; management of the Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) and Landlord Incentive Programs, and a year- round non-congregating sheltering program to help identify units to place homeless families and individuals.

The City’s Coordinated Entry System (CES) processes ensure that all people experiencing homelessness in different populations and subpopulations including people experiencing chronic homelessness, veterans, families with children, youth, persons involved with the criminal justice system, and persons who are fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, or other dangerous or life-threatening conditions including human trafficking, will have fair and open access to the coordinated entry process.

The CES utilizes the coordinated entry intake and assessment process to match persons and households experiencing homelessness to appropriate housing resources in accordance with the CES matching and prioritization policy. All Permanent Supportive Housing programs funded through the CoC are targeted to serve persons with the highest needs and greatest barriers towards obtaining and maintaining housing for persons experiencing chronic homelessness. CES services include, but are not limited to the following: laundry, showers, mail pick-up, on-site case management for employment, veteran’s services, substance abuse, outreach, mental health services and housing coordination. Housing for homeless veterans is coordinated with the Community Development-Housing Division through regular coordination meetings. The City’s homeless service providers make direct referrals for veterans who are homeless to either a project based affordable housing or coordinate with the Veterans Administration for scattered site VASH Vouchers for homeless who are discharged honorable with DD214’s. The City coordinates with YWCA of Glendale & Pasadena and Door of Hope for homeless programming and services specifically for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, as defined under the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act (HEARTH Act). Youth and Families experiencing homelessness are quickly assessed and linked to the Family Solutions Center through the SPA 2 CES system and Home Again LA. Youth and families with children are matched to permanent housing resources pursuant to the order of priority established by the CES matching and prioritization policy.

Most recently, through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the CoC partnered with the Glendale Housing Authority (GHA) to jointly administer the Emergency Housing Voucher Program (EHV). A total of 225 vouchers have been utilized to serve the unhoused community and those at-risk in the City of Glendale and the Greater Glendale area. The CoC service providers work with each homeless person to complete the necessary paperwork for eligibility determination and also provide housing navigation and placement. In addition, the service providers have agreed to provide ongoing case management to homeless clients who are placed in the EHV program. This program will be crucial in aiding our goal of ending chronic homelessness in the City of Glendale.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS The City of Glendale along with the Continuum of Care Board of Directors coordinates the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Request for Proposal (RFP) process to allocate ESG funds. Both CoC and ESG notifications are released through a local RFP, which is also posted in various locations including, the City newspaper, City’s’ website, directly mailed and emailed out to all agencies on the CoC distribution list and is coordinated with the City’s Library Department and Workforce Investment Act (WIA) program.

A formal review of all of the RFP’s are conducted by the CoC Board, including agency interviews, review of semi-annual progress reports, HMIS, outcomes, overall program capacity, financial management and coordination of CoC programs.

As described earlier, the City of Glendale made diligent efforts in soliciting public input to help develop the Consolidated Plan.

The Needs Assessment process for the FY 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan and FY 2025-2026 Annual Plan included consultation and input from community residents, community coalitions and social service and housing agencies providing services to low- and moderate-income residents.

This process included:

1. A Virtual Open House was held on September 17, 2024 via Microsoft Teams for non-profits to learn the fundamentals of federal funding and to discuss priorities for the Consolidated Plan. A total of 16 non-profits participated.

2. A Community Workshop held on October 2, 2024 at the Glendale Adult Recreation Center. A total of 120 people attended and translation services in Armenian and Spanish were provided. Attendees were given the opportunity to comment on housing, public social services, community and economic development and homelessness issues. Links to the online survey were also provided (please see survey information below).

3. A Housing and Community Development Survey was made available in Spanish, Armenian and English both on-line and hard copy form.

A total of 759 responses were received. Distribution of the survey included: posting links to the survey on the City’s Social Media pages, posting information about the survey in various publications and providing hard copies of surveys at all meetings and community events.

4. A CDBG Advisory Committee meeting was held on October 23, 2024. During this meeting a presentation was made to the five-member committee about the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan, including the public outreach being conducted.

5. A 30-day Public Review Period for the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan was from April 1, 2025, to April 30, 2025.

6. A City Council meeting for adoption of the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan will be held 6/24/2025.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
The Needs Assessment of the Consolidated Plan, in conjunction with information gathered through consultations and the citizen participation process, will provide a clear picture of the City of Glendale's needs related to affordable housing, community development, and homelessness. From this Needs Assessment, the City identified those needs with the highest priority, which will form the basis for the Strategic Plan and the programs and projects to be delivered over the five-year planning period.

The Needs Assessment relies on a variety of statistical data to inform Consolidated Plan priorities.

Municipalities are required to use a template provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to structure the Consolidated Plans. This HUD template includes tables with demographic information from the 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS), which the City uses to analyze trends and develop narratives related to housing, economic conditions, and population demographics.

When the template does not provide specific data, the City supplements with the most current information available. The data sources utilized include:
• 2018-2022 American Community Survey Five-Year Estimates • 2016-2020 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) Data from HUD • 2024 Glendale Point-In-Time Homeless Count
• December 2022 Consumer Count by California ZIP Code and Residence Type from the California Department of Developmental Services
• Glendale Continuum of Care
• City of Glendale General Plan
• City of Glendale FY2024-2025 Action Plan
HUD typically defines low- and moderate-income households as those earning up to 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) for the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). However, some data sources may define low-income households as those earning up to 100 percent of AMI.

NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c)
Summary of Housing Needs
In 2020, Glendale had a population of 199,355 persons and 74,765 households (Table 5). These were both slight increases from the base year of 2009. During that same timeframe, the median income for Glendale residents increased by 34 percent, from $52,574 to $70,596. According to the most recent CHAS data (2016-2020) approximately 54 percent of Glendale households (40,645) qualify as low-to- moderate income based on HUD guidelines (<80 percent AMI) (Table 6). This includes 80 percent renter households (32,600) and 20 percent owner occupied households (8,036).

Households with at least one elderly person (persons over the age of 62 represent the most prevalent type of household in Glendale (Table 6). Approximately 29,775 such households are in the city (40 percent of total households). In terms of income level, 64 percent of households (19,135) with at least one elderly person are low-income (<80 percent AMI).

Housing Needs Summary Tables
To help dissect the housing problems facing Glendale, the following tables provide details:
• Table 5 presents the population and household growth between 2009 and 2020. • Table 6 presents the number of households by special characteristics. • Table 7 presents an overview of the number of housing problems by household income, household type, and tenure.
• Table 8 presents the number of households with one or more housing problem (inadequate housing, overcrowding, cost burden of 50 percent, or cost burden of 30 percent) by income and tenure.
• Table 9 summarizes the number of households with more than one or more severe housing problem by income and tenure. Severe housing problems are: inadequate housing; severe overcrowding (1.51 persons or more per room); and housing cost burden of 50 percent. • Table 10 isolates those households with housing cost burden of over 30 percent (inclusive of those with cost burden of over 50 percent) by income and tenure. • Table 11 further isolates those households with cost burden of over 50 percent. • Table 12 presents overcrowding by household type.
• Table 13 is intended to show overcrowding for households with children. However, the American Community Survey provides no data for the City.

As mentioned above, for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), a person is considered to be of low income only if he or she is a member of a family whose income would qualify as "very low income" under the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments program. Unrelated individuals are considered as one-person families for this purpose. Generally, these Section 8 limits are based on 50 percent of area median income (AMI). Similarly, CDBG moderate income relies on Section 8 "lower income" limits, which are generally tied to 80 percent of AMI.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
As defined by HUD in the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, housing problems include:
• Units with physical defects (lacking complete kitchen or bathroom); • Overcrowded conditions (housing units with more than one person per room); • Housing cost burden (including utilities) exceeding 30 percent of gross income; and • Severe housing cost burden (including utilities) exceeding 50 percent of gross income.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.

In 2022, approximately 20,000 households (27 percent) in Glendale were single-person households (2012-2022 ACS). This is a significant increase from the 2010 Census when there were 8,247 such households. Of these households in 2022, about three-fourths (14,607) were renters. Approximately 42 percent of the City’s single-person households are those aged 65 or older living alone. Seniors living alone typically require assistance with repairs and maintenance.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.

Persons with Disabilities: Of the 123,277 persons 18 to 64 years of age and categorized as civilian noninstitutionalized, 8,299 (6.7 percent) have disability status, lower than the Los Angeles County average of seven percent. (2018-2022 ACS). However, disability status is much higher for persons aged 65 and older, with 45 percent of the senior population in Glendale living with a disability. This percentage is higher than the senior population in the County with a disability (36 percent).

In general, persons with disabilities require accessible and affordable housing, with easy access to supportive services and transportation services. This can include special housing design features for the physically disabled, income support for those who are unable to work, and in-home supportive services for those with medical conditions. The majority of persons with disabilities live on an income that is significantly lower than the non-disabled population. Ambulatory difficulty is the most prevalent for Glendale residents with a disability (68 percent), followed by an independent living difficulty and self- care difficulty (65 percent and 51 percent, respectively).

The Frank D. Lanterman Regional Center serves individuals with developmental disabilities in Glendale.

As of December 2021, the center supported approximately 1,929 residents within Glendale’s ZIP codes.

Notably, more than 85 percent of these clients were living with a parent or guardian.

Victims of Domestic Violence: The 2024 Glendale Point-In-Time Homeless Count included 62 sheltered persons who identified as being homeless due to domestic violence. These persons accounted for 62 percent of the sheltered homeless population and was an increase from 56 persons who identified as being homeless due to domestic violence in 2023. Victims of domestic violence may require special services to find housing, especially if the person happens to be a single mother. The 2018-2022 ACS states that approximately 15 percent of the City’s female-headed households, with no husband present and with children under 18 years of age
are living below the poverty level in 2022 compared to nine percent of married couple households.

What are the most common housing problems?
The most common housing problems are housing cost burden and overcrowded housing, which are often related. These problems apply to all levels of low income renters and to a lesser extent to low income homeowners.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
According to the 2016-2020 CHAS data presented in the tables above shows that the most common housing problem for low- and moderate-income households is housing cost burden that exceeds 50 percent of household income (Table 8). Approximately 15,760 low and moderate renter households were facing severe cost burden, representing approximately 48 percent of the total low and moderate income renter households in Glendale. About 3,720 low- and moderate-income owner households face severe cost burden as well, representing 46 percent of owner households in these income categories. As shown on Table 7, severe cost burden increases signiﬁcantly for extremely low income (ELI) households, with 82 percent of renter and 74 percent of owner ELI households spending more than 50 percent of income on housing.

A total of 3,684 renter and owner households are overcrowded in Glendale. Similar to cost burden, overcrowding impacts renter households more than owner households.

Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? Overall, renter households are more impacted by housing problems than owner households (Table 8) Approximately 60 percent of households affected by housing problems and burdens were renter households compared to 39 percent of owner households. Overall senior renter and owner households are impacted the most by cost burden in the city. However, when looking at income levels, extremely lower income large renter households (98 percent) and extremely low and low income small owner households face significant cost burden issues (86 percent and 74 percent, respectively).

Overcrowding impacts single family households more than other household types in Glendale. 2,635 renter and 220 owner single family households face overcrowding conditions (Table 12).

Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re-housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance
In Glendale, approximately 25 percent (18,435 households) of households earn extremely low incomes (Table 7). Of these, 86 percent are renters and 14 percent are owners.

About 14 percent of all Glendale families were below the poverty line in 2022, which is similar to that of LA County (15 percent). The highest concentration of persons below poverty is in the southern area of Glendale located south of Lexington Drive. A majority of census tracts in this area have between 18 and 28 percent of persons below the poverty rate. These same tracts also face severe cost burden (>50 percent of income spent on housing).

Glendale Continuum of Care (CoC) programs adhere to the Housing First model which eliminates barriers and provides access to permanent housing without prerequisites or conditions beyond those of a typical renter to help reduce the length of homelessness. In order to ensure that families maintain their housing, case managers assist families with connecting them to mainstream and community

resources that may include income assistance, employment services, health care, mental health services, and substance use treatment. By encouraging participation in these programs and services, homeless families and individuals gain the knowledge and skills they need in order to maintain their housing. Case managers generally work with families for up to six months after rapid rehousing assistance ends. The organization responsible for overseeing the rapid rehousing strategy is Home Again Los Angeles. Since 2017, 100 percent of families enrolled in Rapid Rehousing have successfully taken over their apartment leases at the culmination of the program.

For low-income individuals and families at risk of homelessness, providing financial assistance such as rental and utility subsidies, along with access to childcare and preventative services like eviction counseling, is crucial. Simultaneously, employment support through job training and placement is crucial to building long-term economic security. These interventions stabilize income, maintain housing affordability, and equip families with the tools to navigate housing challenges. By addressing these immediate needs, it is possible to prevent families from entering the homelessness crisis.

The Verdugo Job Center is a one-stop career center serving the cities of Burbank, Glendale and La Canada Flintridge. Services include career counseling, job search assistance, training opportunities, job fairs and more, free of charge. The Job Center also provides services to businesses. Between 2020 and 2024, 1,121 Glendale residents looking for employment utilized the Job Center, with the highest number (298) occurring in 2024. During that same time frame, 342 Glendale businesses sought assistance from the Job Center, with highest number (87) occurring in 2020.

If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at-risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at-risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates:

Households at risk of becoming homeless include those extremely low income households with a severe housing cost burden (spending 50 percent or more of their income on housing). In 2020, 82 percent of extremely low income renters and 75 percent of extremely low income owners were paying more than 50 percent of their income on housing in Glendale.

Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
Housing characteristics linked to instability and increased risk of homelessness include: high housing costs relative to income, overcrowding, substandard housing conditions, and living in temporary or transitional housing such as motels or shelters. These factors often contribute to financial strain, housing insecurity, and ultimately, homelessness. Extremely low income households with a severe housing cost burden are more likely to lose their homes in the event of loss of employment or other unexpected expenses.

Among extremely low income households (0 percent – 30 percent of AMI), while no groups are disproportionately affected by housing problems since 94 percent of ELI households overall face housing problems, all Black/African American ELI households. Black/African American households were disproportionately affected by housing severe problems (100 percent compared to 87 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole).

Among low income households (31 percent to 50 percent of AMI), Black/African American and American Indian/Alaska Native households are disproportionately affected by housing problems (100 percent for both groups, compared to 90 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole).

Among middle income households (81 percent to 100 percent of AMI), Hispanic/Latino households were disproportionately affected by severe housing problems.( 30 percent compared to 19 percent in the jurisdiction as a whole).

Figure 1 below shows the block groups where over 51 percent of the population earns low and moderate incomes. As shown, most of these areas are in the southern portion of Glendale generally south of Glenoaks Boulevard along with three block groups in just north of the Verdugo Mountains Open Space Preserve and adjacent to the 210 Freeway.

If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? The analysis described above shows the need for additional affordable housing options in Glendale as well as rehab and maintenance programs for households facing lack of plumbing and kitchen facilities.

Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community?
A minority “concentration area” is defined as an area whose proportion of minority population is greater than the overall Los Angeles County average of 74.8 percent. No census tracts in Glendale exceed the County average.

One Census Tract in the southwestern portion of the City (3024.01) is identified as an area of high segregation and poverty. This neighborhood, is generally bound by the city limits, Brand Boulevard, and Maple Street. Approximately 57 percent of the population in this tract are minorities. The median income is $41,300 and 30 percent of residents are below the poverty line.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units:

Glendale has no public housing units.

Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders The immediate needs of Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) holders in Glendale are being met but may need to be reevaluated as the housing market conditions change. The Glendale Housing Authority services 1,592 Housing Choice Vouchers, 14 mainstream vouchers, 6 VASH vouchers, 225 Emergency Housing Vouchers, 27 Fair Choice Vouchers and 1,110 Portability Vouchers throughout the 2023-24 Fiscal Year.

However, there are approximately 1,330 persons on the HCV waiting list. The greatest need for Housing Choice Voucher holders is housing with rents that meet the Housing Assistance Payment of the Housing Authority. With housing in Glendale becoming more expensive, it is becoming more difficult for voucher holders to find affordable units to rent even with their rental assistance.

How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The needs of HCV holders are similar to the population at large. Overall, renter households are more impacted by housing problems than owner households. Approximately 60 percent of households affected by housing problems and burdens were renter households compared to 39 percent of owner households. Overall senior renter and owner households are impacted the most by cost burden in the city. However, when looking at income levels, extremely low and very low-income large renter households (98 percent) and extremely low and very low-income small owner households face significant cost burden issues (86 percent and 74 percent, respectively).

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment – 91.205(c)
Introduction:

Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include a lack of housing affordable to low and moderate income persons, increases in the number of persons whose income falls below the poverty level, reductions in subsidies to the poor, drug/alcohol abuse, and the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill. During the 2024 Homeless count, there were 179 homeless persons in Glendale, both sheltered and unsheltered. This number was a decrease from 195 persons in the 2023 count. During the PIT count, a majority of Glendale’s unsheltered community members were located in Downtown, specifically Central Park.

Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans.

The 2024 Glendale Homeless Count identified approximately 72 persons in households with adults and children (70 sheltered, 2 unsheltered). Households with children are more likely to be in transitional housing and domestic violence shelters than in general emergency shelters or street homeless. Of the 72 individuals counted in 2024, 41 were in Transitional Housing, 29 were in shelters (including the Intimate Partner Violence Shelter) and 2 were unsheltered.

The 2024 Homeless Count revealed a total of 5 homeless people that identified themselves as veterans (1 was sheltered, 4 were unsheltered), presenting a 16 percent decrease from the 6 overall veterans reported on the 2023 Homeless Count. Out of the 5, 4 persons reported to be male and 1 female. Efforts to address homelessness among veterans in Glendale include partnership with The Salvation Army Veteran Employment Services. This program is aimed at assisting unemployed and underemployed veterans with a customized approach to career development. In addition, Glendale in partnership with the County department of Health Services, is accepting referrals for the HUD the HUD--VASH Collaborative Case Management (CCM) Pilot VASH Collaborative Case Management (CCM) Pilot program. The program pairs HUD's Housing Choice Voucher rental program, The program pairs HUD's Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance with Intensive Case Management Services for unhoused assistance with Intensive Case Management Services for unhoused veterans with veterans with Other Than Honorable discharges.

Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group.

As shown in Table 28 the majority of people included in the 2024 Homeless Count identified as Hispanic (40 percent) followed by White (39 percent). The next highest percentage of people identified as Black or African American (15 percent).

Compared to their overall proportion of the Glendale’s resident population, minority populations are overrepresented in the homeless population.

Black/African Americans are especially overrepresented at a rate of 7 to 1 compared to the general population. Blacks/African Americans comprised 2 percent of the overall population in the 5-Year US Census 2022 American Community Survey and were overrepresented in 2024 PIT Count, where they comprised of 15 percent of 179 people who were reported as experiencing homelessness.

Latinos/Hispanics also experience homelessness at a disproportionately higher rate, where persons experiencing homelessness were 40 percent in 2024 PIT count compared to the 19 percent general
population residents in Glendale. For American Indian/Alaska Native/Indigenous people, the disproportionality ratio may be as high as 5 to 1.

This data comes in sharp contrast to other communities of color, specifically the Asian population, who have a lower rate of homelessness as they comprise of 14 percent of Glendale residents compared with less than one percent of the 179 persons experiencing homelessness on the night of the count.

Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness.

The 2024 Homeless Count estimated that there were 95 sheltered persons and 80 unsheltered persons in Glendale. This was a ten percent reduction in the unsheltered count from 2023. The sheltered count in 2024 also showed a decrease of seven percent from the previous year. These findings suggest that efforts to address homelessness in Glendale, such as increased access to Emergency Housing Vouchers, Interim housing and supportive housing, may be having a positive impact on reducing the number of homeless individuals in the community. Most recently, through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the CoC has partnered with the Glendale Housing Authority (GHA) to jointly administer the Emergency Housing Voucher Program (EHV). A total of 225 vouchers have been utilized to serve the unhoused community and those at-risk in the City of Glendale and the Greater Glendale area. The CoC service providers work with each homeless person to complete the necessary paperwork for eligibility determination and also provide housing navigation and placement. In addition, the service providers have agreed to provide ongoing case management to homeless clients who are placed in the EHV program. This program will be crucial in aiding our goal of ending chronic homelessness in the City of Glendale.

However, it is noteworthy that Glendale Police Department Street Outreach project reported a much higher number of individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness at 289 in our year-round Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). This is likely due to the fact that the Homeless Count is one night a year, and therefore, provides a snapshot of homelessness in Glendale whereas the Street Outreach program is all year round. The large number of individuals experiencing homelessness identified through the year round Street Outreach project highlights the ongoing need for resources and support to address the issue.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction:

Certain households, because of their special characteristics and needs, may require special accommodations and may have difficulty finding housing. Special needs groups include the elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with alcohol or other drug addiction, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, female-headed households, large households, victims of domestic violence, veterans, extremely-low income households and farmworkers.

Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:

Elderly: A
ccording to the 2018 -2022 ACS, approximately 42,817 people in Glendale are 62 years old or older and 35,862 people are 65 years old or older. Elderly persons are likely to have fixed incomes and often have special needs related to housing location and amenities. Furthermore, according to the 2016- 2020 CHAS data, Glendale has 21,430 elderly households, which accounts for 29 percent of the City’s total households. Of these elderly households, 12,340 are renters (58 percent) and 9,090 are owners (42 percent). The CHAS data also shows that elderly households face housing problems, including cost burden, at a higher rate than Glendale households overall (Table 7) . Approximately 44 percent of elderly

owner households face cost burden compared to 37 percent overall and 59 percent of elderly renter households face housing problems compared to 57 percent overall. Table 7 also shows that housing problems increase significantly for lower income senior households, with 62 percent of extremely low- income senior renter households and 88 percent of extremely low senior owner households facing cost burden in Glendale.

Persons with Disabilities: Of the 123,277 persons 18 to 64 years of age and categorized as civilian noninstitutionalized, 8,299 (6.7 percent) have disability status, lower than the Los Angeles County average of seven percent. (2018-2022 ACS). However, disability status is much higher for persons aged 65 and older, with 45 percent of the senior population in Glendale living with a disability. Ambulatory difficulty is the most prevalent for Glendale residents with a disability (68 percent), followed by an independent living difficulty and self-care difficulty (65 percent and 51 percent, respectively).

Persons with Alcohol or Drug Addicti on: The County of Los Angeles Public Health Department has various data points about alcohol and drug use within the County. A 2022 report examined five alcohol- related consequences (violent crimes, vehicle crashes, emergency department visits, hospitalizations and deaths) in cities, City Council Districts and Service Planning Areas (SPAs). 1 According to the report,
Glendale had the following occurrences (rates per 10,000 people): Violent crimes: 14.7, Vehicle crashes:

2.2, Emergency Department Visits: 30.9, Hospitalizations: 33.5 and one death. These ra7es were lower than the Service Planning Area (SPA 2) overall and fell into the low range (0-33 percent) of the study.

While city-level information is not available regarding drug use in Los Angeles County, a report was published in July 2024 that looked at fentanyl use in the SPAs. 2 Between 2016 and 2022, 818 fentanyl
overdose emergency department visits and 313 hospitalizations occurred in SPA 2. This accounted for 20 percent and 23 percent of the County totals, respectively. The Glendale Police Department has stated that fentanyl overdoses in Glendale have increased by more than 400 percent between 2020 and 2022.

The Police Department has several resources and contacts for people who are struggling with addiction.

Single-P
arent Households: According to the 2018-2022 ACS estimates, about 18 percent (approximately 13,104) of Glendale’s households are single-parent households. About three-fourths are renter households (10,068). The ACS also indicates that of the approximately 4,500 female-headed households with their own children under the age of 18, about 10 percent live below the poverty line.

Large Households: Larg e households are those with five or more members. The 2018-2022 ACS estimated there were 5,966 large households in Glendale, representing eight percent of all households.

Among the City’s large households, 2,798 are owner occupied (47 percent) and 3,168 are renters. (53 percent). The 2016-2020 CHAS data shows that half of large households are lower income. Regarding

cost burden almost all extremely low and low income large renter households (98 percent) pay more than 30 percent of their income on housing.

Victims of Domestic Violence: According to the California Department of Justice, City of Glendale agencies received 472 domestic violence related calls for assistance in 2023. This number was significantly higher than the 309 calls received in 2022, 332 calls received in 2021 and 277 call received in 2020. The 2024 Glendale Point-In-Time Homeless Count included 62 sheltered persons who identified as being homeless due to domestic violence. These persons accounted for 62 percent of the sheltered homeless population and was an increase from 56 persons who identified as being homeless due to domestic violence in 2023.

Veterans: The 2018-2
022 ACS estimates that there were 3,075 veterans in Glendale, representing two percent of the total population. For the 2023 Homeless Count, 6 persons identified as veterans, all of whom were unsheltered.

Extremely-Low Income Households: A
ccording to the most recent CHAS data available (2016-2020), there are approximately 18,435 extremely-low income (ELI) households in the City (15,820 renters and 2,615 owners). ELI households represent approximately 25 percent of all households in Glendale. About 88 percent of ELI households experience cost burden and 81 percent are severely cost burdened.

Farmworkers: Da ta on employment by industry and occupation from the 2018-2022 ACS indicates that approximately 126 people are employed in farming, fishing and forestry occupations. However, Glendale is an urban community in a metropolitan area, and persons identified as having agriculture jobs are most likely employed at plant nurseries and similar enterprises and thus are not anticipated to have the seasonal housing needs associated with crop related farm worker jobs.

What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs de
termined?
Discussions with service providers during the Consultation Plan consultation process indicated that there is need for additional supportive services in the City, including housing, emergency shelter services, youth services and activities, senior services, services for victims of domestic violence, mental health and substance abuse treatment, health/medical care, counseling, and employment services.

Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Area:

According to the 2022 Annual HIV Surveillance Report by the Los Angeles County Public Health Department, Division of HIV and STD Programs/HIV Epidemiology, there are 943 persons living with HIV in Glendale, which is part of the San Fernando Service Planning Area (SPA 2). The number of persons living with HIV in Glendale was 12 percent of the total persons living with HIV in SPA 2 and 1.7 percent in LA County. In 2022, there were 19 new HIV diagnoses and 10 new AIDS diagnoses in the city. For the 2023 Homeless Count, three unsheltered persons identified as having HIV/AIDS.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs.

There are 27 properties with 1,132 affordable rental units assisted with federal, state and local programs in Glendale. This includes Citrus Crossing, the recently completed 126-unit senior project. The affordability and unit type breakdown is as follows:

Below 30 percent AMI
• 74 senior units
Between 20 percent and 70 percent AMI
• 126 senior units
Between 30 percent and 60 percent AMI
• 194 units (74 senior, 44 veteran, 7 disabled seniors) Below 50 percent AMI
• 286 units (18 formerly homeless, 47 disabled, 157 senior) Below 60 percent AMI
• 283 units (51 senior)
Below 80 percent AMI
• 84 units (82 senior)
Below 120 percent AMI
• 85 senior units
In addition to the units listed above, other assisted projects are in construction. One project is Harrower Village (920 E Broadway), an adaptive re-use and historic preservation project will create 39 units of affordable housing for seniors. As of April 2025, the project received temporary Certificate of Occupancy and was over 50% leased up.

Another project located at 515 Pioneer Drive will create 338 units of affordable housing for seniors and small families. Construction is expected to complete in January 2026. These projects will utilize HOME funded for 11 units in each building.

As of April 2025, construction was underway at 426 Piedmont Avenue and 507 Naranja Drive, an adaptive reuse affordable housing project. The property will provide 67 affordable units for extremely low, very low- and low-income seniors. The City utilized $2.1 million of its HOME ARP award to Draft

Consolidated Plan GLENDALE 56
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
construct 67 affordable units. 11 of the 67 unites utilized HOME ARP funding and for those units, the City may give a preference to seniors over the age of 62 who are experiencing homelessness, or who are at risk of homelessness. Construction is expected to be completed by June 2026.

Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.

Provided continued renewal of HUD 202 and Section 8 Annual Contracts, no affordable units are expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory. Due to new construction of 444 affordable units described above, there will be no net loss of affordable units in the City due to potential conversion of units to market rate rentals. However, no units are eligible for conversion in this planning period.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? Glendale has an insufficient supply of affordable housing. According to the CHAS data, approximately 40,645 households were earning less than or equal to 80 percent AMI in 2020. However, in 2020 there were 33,119 housing units affordable to households earning less than or equal to 80 percent AMI. The disparity of affordable housing increases when looking at households earning 30 percent or less of the AMI (18,440 households and only 2,485 affordable units) and households earning between 31 to 50 percent AMI (9,420 households and 5,615 affordable units). As described in the Needs Assessment above, the Housing Authority services 1,592 Housing Choice Vouchers, 14 mainstream vouchers, 6 VASH vouchers, 225 Emergency Housing Vouchers, 27 Fair Choice Vouchers and 1,110 Portability Vouchers throughout the 2023-24 Fiscal Year. However, there are approximately 1,330 persons on the HCV waiting list with an average wait of 24 years.

Describe the need for specific types of housing:

Discussion
Lower-income housing for seniors and large households is needed due to significant cost burden faced by these groups. Approximately 62 percent of extremely low income senior renter households and 88 percent of extremely low senior owner households facing cost burden in Glendale. Almost all extremely low and low income large renter households (98 percent) pay more than 30 percent of their income on housing.

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction
One of the most important factors in evaluating a community’s housing market is the cost of housing and, even more significant, whether the housing is affordable to households who live there or would like to live there. Housing problems directly relate to the cost of housing in a community. If housing costs are relatively high in comparison to household income, a correspondingly high rate of housing cost burden and overcrowding could result.

Similar to many communities in California, the cost of housing has continued to rise. The median home value in Glendale increased from $619,000 in 2009 to $821,500 in 2020, representing a 33 percent increase. Rents in Glendale increased by 30 percent during the same time period, going from about $1,202 a month to $1,560 a month. Home values and rents have continued to increase in the City. Zillow data indicates that as of December 2024, median home values have increased by 43 percent since 2020 to $1,172,107. Rents have also continued to rise. A rental survey in November 2024 found the following median rents in Glendale: Studio - $1,800; One-bedroom - $2,100; Two-bedroom - $2,795 and Three- bedroom - $3,997. With housing costs rising for both homeowners and renters cost burden and overcrowding remain significant concerns, especially for lower-income residents.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels? According to the CHAS data by HUD, mismatches in terms of supply and affordability exist in the City.

Approximately 18,440 households earning less than 30 percent of AMI reside in the City; however, there are only 2,485 dwelling units affordable to those at this income level. Similarly, the City has 9,420 households earning between 31 and 50 percent of AMI and only 5,615 housing units affordable to those at this income level. There are approximately 25,019 housing units in the City that are affordable to households earning between 51 and 80 percent AMI, more than the number of households (12,785) in Glendale at this income level. However, a housing unit affordable to a particular income group does not mean the unit is actually occupied by a household in that income group. Therefore, the affordability mismatches are likely to be more severe than what is presented by the CHAS data.

How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
As discussed above, housing costs continue to rise in Glendale. Since 2020, home values have increased by 43 percent. The median rent ranges from $1,800 for a studio (efficiency unit) to $3,997 for a three- bedroom unit. With limited affordable housing funds available, cost burden will continue to impact a significant portion of Glendale households.

How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? Comparing the rental survey results shown above with Table 34, the median rents in Glendale are higher than fair market rents (ranging from about $200 more to $800 more). They are also higher than HOME Draft

Consolidated Plan GLENDALE 59
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
rents. This shows the need for the City to continue to preserve and produce affordable housing when funding is available.

Discussion
MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing – 91.210(a) Introduction
The American Community Survey (ACS) defines a "selected condition" as owner-or renter-occupied housing units having at least one of the following conditions: 1) lacking complete plumbing facilities; 2) lacking complete kitchen facilities; 3) more than one occupant per room; and 4) selected monthly housing costs greater than 30 percent of household income. Based on this definition, 60 percent of renter households and 39 percent of owner households had at least selected condition between 2016 and 2020 (Table 35).

Describe the jurisdiction's definition of "standard condition" and "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation":

In Glendale, substandard housing conditions may consist of the following: structural hazards, poor construction, inadequate maintenance, faulty wiring, plumbing, fire hazards, and inadequate sanitation.

Substandard units suitable for rehabilitation are those units where the total rehabilitation costs do not exceed 25 percent of the after-rehabilitation value.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
Given the older age of the housing stock in the City, the number of substandard housing units could potentially be large. Housing age can indicate general housing conditions within a community. Housing is subject to gradual deterioration over time.

According to Table 36 and Table 37, 75 percent of homes in Glendale were built prior to 1980, including 81 percent of owner-occupied and 72 percent of renter-occupied homes. With these units over 45 years old, some type of rehabilitation may be needed. The City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element included additional information about rehabilitation needs. A citywide housing conditions survey was last performed in 2019 and indicated at the time that approximately two percent of housing units were in need of maintenance and rehabilitation while no housing units were in need of replacement. The City’s Building and Safety Division has estimated that two percent of housing units in 2021 were in need of substantial rehabilitation or replacement. A community survey conducted as part of the Housing Element update included questions about the physical condition of residences. The majority of residents (42.5 percent) responded that their home was in excellent condition, while almost a third (31.3 percent) of residents indicated that their home shows signs of minor deferred maintenance such as peeling paint or chipped stucco. Another 23.8 percent of resident respondents indicated that their home was in need Draft

of one or more major systems upgrades (such as new roof, windows, electrical, plumbing, HVAC system, etc.).

Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards
Discussion
Housing age is the key variable used to estimate the number of housing units with lead-based paint (LBP). Starting in 1978, the federal government prohibited the use of LBP on residential property.

National studies estimate that 75 percent of all residential structures built prior to 1970 contain LBP.

Housing built prior to 1940 is highly likely to contain LBP (estimated at 90 percent of housing units nationally), and in housing built between 1960 and 1979, 62 percent of units are estimated to contain LBP.

Using the 75 percent national average of potential LBP hazard and applying it to the amount of units built prior to 1980 in the City, an estimated 42,116 units (15,360 owner-occupied and 26,756 renter- occupied) may contain LBP. Furthermore, approximately 54 percent of households in the City are low and moderate income (earn less than 80 percent of AMI). This translates to approximately 22,911 housing units with potential LBP that may be occupied by low and moderate income households.

Lead poisoning also impacts children more severely, inflecting potentially permanent damage to young children, such as developmental disabilities. Approximately eight percent of the owner-households and one percent of the renter-households built before 1980, have children (Table 37). Therefore, the number of units with potential LBP hazards and occupied by households with children is estimated at 2,580 units (1,459 owner-occupied units and 476 renter-occupied units).

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services – 91.210(d) Introduction
Persons with special needs include the elderly and frail elderly; persons with disabilities; persons substance abuse disorders; and persons with HIV/AIDS. An inventory of facilities and services provided for this population are described below.

Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs
Elderly/Frail Elderly
The elderly, especially those who are frail, requires a range of supportive housing needs. Accessible housing design is essential, featuring ramps, widened doorways, grab bars, and emergency alert systems to ensure safety and mobility. On-site medical care, medication management, and home health aides are important in healthcare needs. Personal care assistance, housekeeping, and transportation support are equally important for daily living. Meal services are also essential since some of these persons may be homebound. Safety and security are paramount, with 24/7 supervision and controlled access to the facility. Emotional and mental health support, including counseling and peer support groups, is vital for overall well-being. Legal and financial assistance, through case management and advocacy services, ensures residents' rights are protected and their needs are met as they age in place with dignity and comfort.

The following are affordable housing projects for seniors (62 and over) in Glendale:
• Citrus Crossing: 126 units (new development - construction completed in November 2024) • Harrower Village: 39 units (adaptive reuse - construction expected to end May 2025.) • 515 Pioneer: 92 units (construction expected to end in January 2026) • 426 Piedmont: 67 units -this project will substantially rehabilitate an existing structure that used to serve as an assistant living facility. 11 units will be funded with HOME-ARP dollars and offered to seniors who meet one of the qualifying populations under the HOME ARP program.(construction is expended to end June 2026).

The City’s Community Services & Parks Department includes a variety of senior programs and services.

Many of these programs are held at the City’s Adult Recreation Center and the Sparr Heights Community Center. Services include: nutrition programs, case management, legal assistance, Medicare and Medi-Cal Counseling, transportation services and bus passes, and a variety of classes and activities.

Persons with Disabilities (
Mental, Physical, Developmental)
Supportive housing for individuals with disabilities requires accessible environment that accommodates diverse physical, sensory, and cognitive needs. Housing design should prioritize accessibility, Draft

Consolidated Plan GLENDALE 67
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
incorporating features like ramps, wide doorways, adjustable countertops, and accessible bathrooms to ensure mobility and independence. On-site or easily accessible healthcare services, including physical therapy, and occupational therapy, are crucial for managing health and enhancing quality of life.

Personal care assistance and transportation assistance supports residents in maintaining independence.

Legal and financial assistance through case management ensures that residents can navigate benefits, manage finances, and advocate for their rights. Finally, educational and vocational support, including job training and skill development programs, are essential for empowering residents to foster a sense of purpose and autonomy. Many of the services available to Glendale seniors also benefit persons with disabilities.

Persons with Alcohol or Drug Addictions
Supportive housing for individuals with alcohol or other drug addictions must prioritize creating a safe, substance-free environment that fosters recovery and prevents relapse. Access to healthcare services is crucial, including on-site or nearby medical care, addiction treatment services, and integrated support for co-occurring mental health disorders. Counseling and mental health support are essential for addressing the underlying causes of addiction and providing ongoing emotional support. Relapse prevention and continued support services, are key to maintaining sobriety. Life skills training, such as job training and daily living skills, is vital for helping residents achieve independence. Legal and financial assistance through case management and advocacy ensures residents can navigate legal issues and manage responsibilities.

The City’s Police Department has a Substance Abuse and Wellness Resource Program that aims to provide accessible mental health and substance abuse support and resources. A variety of resources are listed on the Police Department website. Additionally, the County’s Substance Abuse Prevention and Control Division (a section of the Public Health Department) offers and coordinates a range of outpatient and residential treatment programs.

Persons with HIV/AIDS and Their Families
Supportive housing for individuals with HIV/AIDS and their families focuses on providing stable and safe living conditions, ensuring long-term housing that alleviates stress and supports overall health. Access to comprehensive healthcare services is crucial, including regular medical check-ups, antiretroviral therapy with on-site or nearby clinics helping to maintain consistent care. Mental health and emotional support, through counseling and peer support groups, is essential for addressing the emotional challenges of living with HIV/AIDS and combating stigma. Social services and case management are important for navigating healthcare systems, accessing benefits, and managing complex needs.

AIDS Project Los Angeles provides a range of programs and services that are designed to promote self- sufficiency for people living with HIV/AIDS, to support positive medical outcomes, and to keep people living with HIV/AIDS in care and treatment programs.

Large Households
Large households face significant cost burden in Glendale. Almost all extremely low and low income large renter households (98 percent) pay more than 30 percent of their income on housing. Due to high housing costs, finding an adequately-sized home can be challenging for large households. This challenge increases for lower-income large households. The 2018-2022 ACS estimated that half of the City’s 5,966 large households are lower income. Affordable housing for families and Housing Choice Vouchers benefit large households.

Single-Parent Households
According to the 2018-2022 ACS estimates, about 18 percent (approximately 13,104) of Glendale’s households are single-parent households. About three-fourths are renter households (10,068). The ACS also indicates that of the approximately 4,500 female-headed households with their own children under the age of 18, about 10 percent live below the poverty line. Finding affordable housing can be challenging for female-headed households in addition to other services such as childcare. Housing Choice Vouchers benefit many female-headed households in Glendale.

Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing
Local hospitals have discharge policies for high-risk persons, including homeless persons. These policies include connecting patients with available local resources.

Residential care facilities provide supportive housing for persons with disabilities. The types of facilities available in Glendale include:
• Group Homes: Facilities of any capacity that provide 24-hour non-medical care and supervision to children in a structured environment. Group Homes provide social, psychological, and behavioral programs for troubled youths.
• Adult Residential Facilities (ARF): Facilities of any capacity that provide 24-hour non-medical care for adults ages 18 through 59, who are unable to provide for their own daily needs. Adults may be physically handicapped, developmentally disabled, and/or mentally disabled. • Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE): Facilities that provide care, supervision and assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and grooming. They may also provide incidental medical services under special care plans.

According to the state of California Community Care Licensing Division of the State Department of Social Services, as of January 2025 there were eight adult residential facilities and 28 residential care facilities for the elderly in Glendale.

Glendale will continue to support and fund several nonprofits that provide supportive services. As in previous years, this includes at-risk youth programs, services for persons who are at risk of becoming homeless, and services for elderly and frail elderly persons. Glendale will continue to encourage both the private and public sectors to produce or assist in the production of housing for special needs groups such as: the disabled, the elderly, large families, single-parent households, and formerly homeless.

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment Lack of Affordable Housing Funds: Similar to other jurisdictions, the availability of funding for affordable housing in Glendale has been severely affected by the dissolution of Redevelopment in the State of California. Similar to most communities across the State, the City lacks a steady source of funding to operate affordable housing programs. Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), one of the most significant funding sources for affordable housing, is highly competitive, and alone cannot provide enough funds for the development of affordable housing. Typically, the development of affordable housing requires multiple levels of public financing. HUD Community Planning and Development (CPD) funds such as CDBG and HOME funds have not kept up the increases in needs. To mitigate the lack of available funds, the City’s 2021–2029 Housing Element includes programs to supply Direct City Financial Assistance (such as land assemblage and write down, below market interest rate loans and grants or deferred payments).

Environmental Protection: State law (California Environmental Quality Act, California Endangered Species Act) and federal law (National Environmental Protection Act, Federal Endangered Species Act) regulations require environmental review of proposed discretionary projects (e.g., subdivision maps, use permits, etc.). Costs resulting from the environmental review process are also added to the cost of housing. Furthermore, opponents often use the CEQA process to block or delay housing development.

However, recent changes to State law have significantly streamlined the review and approval processes (including CEQA requirements) for affordable housing. Specifically, reuse vacant or underutilized sites in the Housing Element to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) will be eligible for Draft

Consolidated Plan GLENDALE 70
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
by-right approval (CEQA exempt) if 20 percent or more of the units are set aside for lower income households.

Local Residential Development Policies and Regulations: Some portions of the City are subject to development constraints due to the presence of hillsides and ridgelines, oak trees, flood potential, seismic hazards, environmental issues, or other special circumstance. Hillsides, ridgelines, and floodplains must be protected from over-development in order to prevent erosion, flooding, damage from landslides, and preserve scenic views. Preservation of significant oak trees is also defined in the General Plan as a community goal because these trees are important biological resources. These constraints affect the development of all housing, not just affordable housing. To mitigate these development constraints, the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element has programs for development opportunities, including Accessory Dwelling Units, Adaptive Re-Use, Public Property Conversions, Density Bonus and Inclusionary Zoning.

Planning and Development Fees: Development fees and taxes charged by local governments also contribute to the cost of housing. Application processing fees in the City of Glendale have been established by Resolution.

Permit and Processing Procedures: The processing time required to obtain approval of development permits is often cited as a contributing factor to the high cost of housing. Unnecessary delays add to the cost of construction by increasing land holding costs and interest payments. Single-family residences are subject to the approval of a Development Review Permit. This process generally takes two to six weeks.

Multi-family residences are subject to the approval of a Development Review Permit. Multi-family residences can also be constructed in commercial zones with the approval of a CUP. This process generally takes 2-6 weeks from initial submittal to approval. The Conditional Use Permit generally takes around four to six months. To mitigate these impacts, the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element includes a program for Permit Streamlining and Streamlined and Ministerial Review for Eligible Affordable Housing Projects.

State and Federal Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wages: The State Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) expanded the kinds of projects that require the payment of prevailing wages. A prevailing wage must be paid to laborers when federal funds are used to pay labor costs for any project over $2,000 or on any multi-family project over eight units. The prevailing wage is usually higher than competitive wages, raising the cost of housing production and rehabilitation activities. Davis-Bacon also adds to housing costs by requiring documentation of the prevailing wage compliance.

MA-45 Non-Housing Community Development Assets – 91.215 (f) Introduction
Labor and employment characteristics have a direct impact upon current and future housing needs within Glendale. Wage levels from different employment sectors impact a household’s ability to afford certain types of housing and to adequately maintain housing. Certain sectors may have mismatches between jobs available and number of workers, potentially resulting in high unemployment rates in those sectors (Table 42).

Examples include Agricultural, Mining, Oil & Gas Extraction, Information, and Transportation and Warehousing. According to the ACS, the average unemployment rate was 7.54 percent for the City between 2026 and 2020 (Table 43).

Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:

The Verdugo Workforce Development Board (VWDB), which was created by the 2000 federal Workforce Investment Act, develops workforce policies and oversees state and federal funding for the cities of Burbank, Glendale and La Canada Flintridge.

The VWDB has two primary customers, job seekers (adults and youth) and local businesses. Through its service providers, the Verdugo Jobs Center and the Burbank Workforce Connection, the VWDB helps job seekers to find job opportunities and build careers through job training. The VWDB also helps identify business needs and provides direct assistance to businesses that may have workforce needs, capital needs, or other service needs.

The VWDB’s July 2024 Quarterly Report lists the top industry sectors for employment in the Burbank/Glendale/La Canada Flintridge area. The top four sectors in 2024 were health care, professional services, information-based services and retail. The Quarterly Report also listed the type of job advertisements published in the Verdugo Region. The highest number of jobs advertised were for registered nurses, retail salespersons and first-line supervisors of retail sales workers. The information in the VWDB report reflects the data in Table 42. The Education and Health Care Services sector and Retail Trade sector do not have enough workers to fill the available jobs in Glendale. On the other hand, the Information Sector does not have enough job opportunities for workers in the City with that skill set.

Youth training programs are also needed in Glendale. As shown in Table 43, the unemployment rate for persons aged 16-24 is 23 percent.

As the City is urbanized, all major infrastructures are already provided, i.e., streets and other public improvements. Information provided by the service and utility companies also indicates that the present infrastructure is generally sufficient to accommodate planned growth levels. Thus, the capacity of service and facility infrastructure is not considered an obstacle to the development, maintenance and improvement of businesses in the City.

Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create.

The City adopted an Economic Development Three-Year Strategic Plan in 2022. This plan has several goals to support economic development in Glendale: Brand Identity, Business Culture, Innovation Ecosystem (tech sector) and Entertainment and Lifestyle (grow the arts and entertainment sector).

Implementing this plan will result in expansion efforts for new businesses, job growth and infrastructure). Efforts underway include business placemaking, the Verdugo Wash Visioning Study (create a 9-acre linear park with nature paths and adjacent businesses and entertainment), the Housing Element (affordable housing opportunities), the Bicycle Transportation Plan improvements from the Citywide Pedestrian Plan. The VWDB will also be involved in the process with workforce development support.

The Activate Artsakh project looks to enhance this area of the Arts and Entertainment District including the nearby public alley and passageways. The goal is to attract visitors to the various art and entertainment venues while also maintaining adequate parking and traffic flow.

How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction?
As shown in Table 44, a majority of people employed in Glendale work in the management, business and financial sector. These jobs tend to require a higher level of education and skill training. Table 46 illustrates that the highest percentage of unemployed persons in Glendale’s labor force are those with less than a high school education (13 percent), followed by high school graduate or equivalency (eight percent), some college or associate degree (seven percent) and lastly, bachelor’s degree or higher (five percent).

Despite the number of jobs available in Glendale (over 93,000 shown in Table 42, longer communing patterns is prevalent. As illustrated in Table 45. Almost half of employed Glendale residents (46 percent) travel 30 minutes or more to their jobs.

Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.

The Verdugo Jobs Center (part of the VWDB) overs a variety of training and career counseling opportunities. These include:

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
Housing problems impact lower and moderate income households disproportionately compared to middle and upper income households. Therefore, areas with concentrations of low and moderate income households are likely to have high rates of housing problems.

A low and moderate income concentration is defined as a block group where at least 51 percent of the population is low and moderate income. Figure 1 above shows the block groups where over 51 percent of the population earns low and moderate incomes. Most of these areas are in the southern portion of Glendale generally south of Glenoaks Boulevard along with three block groups in just north of the Verdugo Mountains Open Space Preserve and adjacent to the 210 Freeway.

Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") A minority “concentration area” is defined as an area whose proportion of minority population is greater than the overall Los Angeles County average of 74.8 percent. No census tracts in Glendale exceed the County average.

The census tracts with the highest poverty rates are concentrated in the southern areas of the City. This One Census Tract in the southwestern portion of the City (3024.01) is identified as an area of high segregation and poverty. This neighborhood, is generally bound by the city limits, Brand Boulevard, and Maple Street. Approximately 57 percent of the population in this tract are minorities. The median income is $41,300 and 30 percent of residents are below the poverty line.

What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? The market characteristics in these neighborhoods are in many ways similar to the market characteristics of the City as a whole. While rising home values are good news for those who are already homeowners, it often makes housing more expensive for renters and for those seeking to attain home ownership. Rising rental rates are being seen in these neighborhoods as they are in the greater Glendale housing market.

Draft

Consolidated Plan GLENDALE 77
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? There are many community assets in the southern Glendale area, including Tract 3024.01. Residents are in close proximity to transportation options via the Glendale Avenue and Colorado Street main boulevards and the I-5 and 2 Glendale freeways, as well as the Glendale Transportation Center/Metrolink station. A variety of recreation and shopping activities are available at the Glendale Galleria, surrounding shops, several neighborhood parks, a central library, and a public swimming pool.

All neighborhoods enjoy the presence the public elementary, middle, and high schools.

Multiple government services are available to residents in southern Glendale, including the main City Hall building which includes Human Services and Housing Divisions, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS), the State of California Economic Development Department (unemployment office), and the Verdugo Jobs Center. Residents in need can visit several social services in southern Glendale for food, clothing, rent and utility assistance. The area is serviced by numerous health facilities, including the Dignity Health – Glendale Memorial Hospital and Health Center.

Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? The southern Glendale area is located in areas with a high concentration of retail jobs. Businesses in these areas offer opportunities that may not require a higher level of education such as jobs available through hotels, high end retail stores, or hospitals. Job training is being provided through the Verdugo Job Center via Workforce Investment Act programs and is an effective program to train the workforce for jobs in this area. The South Glendale Community Plan is the official guide to development within the neighborhoods and commercial districts in the southern part of Glendale. This plan is intended to shape positive community change while balancing the unique character of the community.

The City is updating its General Plan, including the addition of a new Environmental Justice Element.

Policies and programs related to southern Glendale will be part of the General Plan’s implementation measures. The City’s Three-Year Economic Development Strategic Plan described earlier may also benefit the employment base and opportunities in southern Glendale.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate- Income Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)

Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and moderate-income households and neighborhoods.

The 2022 Five-Year ACS estimates showed that 89 percent of Glendale households had an internet subscription. Looking at broadband service specifically, 76 percent of households had some type of broadband service, such as cable, fiber optic or DSL. However; household income did impact the rates of internet service. For households earning less than $20,000 a year, 66.3 percent had broadband service; Draft

Consolidated Plan GLENDALE 78
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
for households earning between $20,000 to $74,999 a year, 86.4 percent had broadband service and for households earning more than $75,000 a year, 96.3 percent had broadband service.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has an interactive mapping tool (the California Broadband Mapping Tool) that depicts the served and underserved areas of broadband deployment.

The term “served” depends on the internet speed standards and has varying thresholds at the state and federal level. The State’s “served” speed standard is 6 megabits per second (Mbps) downstream/1 Mbps upstream while current Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards are 25 Mbps up/3 Mbps down.

According to the California Broadband Mapping Tool, the City meets the State’s minimum service standards and is “served.” However, there are pockets (predominantly located in South Glendale) that do not meet the FCC standard of “served.” In addition, the mapping tool shows that mass market underserved locations are in the City’s lower income neighborhoods. This corresponds to the ACS estimates described above.

The City of Glendale Water & Power (GWP) department is implementing a high speed optic broadband network project with the goal of providing access to high speed communication services for Glendale businesses, City buildings, utility facilities, libraries and other anchor institutions in the City. The project involves both overhead and underground sections. Fiber cable will be attached to over 1000 existing utility power poles as well as 14 transmission towers along the Verdugo mountains. Furthermore, fiber cable will be installed in existing conduits, pull boxes and vaults. Where there is a lack of such underground substructures, new substructures will be installed to enable fiber cable installation.

In January 2023, the City was awarded a Local Agency Technical Assistance grant from the California Public Utilities Commission. The award is predicated on the City’s agreement to provide technical assistance that will benefit unserved or underserved persons in the City.

Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet service provider serve the jurisdiction.

The City of Glendale is served by over 20 broadband internet service providers. There is no need to increase competition.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)

Describe the jurisdiction’s increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.

As part of the City’s Climate Action & Adaptation Plan, a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment was completed in September 2023. Changes in temperature and precipitation are expected to influence the Draft

Consolidated Plan GLENDALE 79
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
frequency, duration, and magnitude of a variety of climate hazards. The Assessment listed the following impacts expected to occur in Glendale by the end of the century3:
• Extreme Heat and Warm Nights – Annual number of extreme heat days is projected to increase by as many as 32 days and warm nights is expected to increase by as many as 69 by 2100. • Drought – The City is expected to experience increases in the length of dry spells. • Wildfire – The annual wildfire probability in Glendale is expected to increase from 20 percent to 30 percent.
• Landslides – This risk is expected to increase as precipitation variability increases and wildfires increase in frequency, size and severity.
• Stormwater Flooding and Extreme Precipitation – Changes in precipitation patterns will overwhelm the stormwater infrastructure, leading to localized flooding in highly paved areas. • Poor Air Quality – Air quality is anticipated to worsen in the region due to regional wildfires and average maximum temperatures.

Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.

The City’s Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment included social vulnerability from climate change in Glendale. Vulnerable populations in Glendale include people experiencing poverty, unemployed, renters, individuals without vehicle access, single female households with children, people in overcrowded households, households experiencing cost burden among others. The Assessment looked at Census Tracts in Glendale and social vulnerability. The greatest concentration of vulnerable populations are in south and southwest Glendale. The Census Tracts that have more than 60 percent vulnerable populations are considered a high social vulnerability area. These areas are generally on either side of Glenoaks Boulevard in Southwest Glendale and between Brand Boulevard and Colorado Street and south of Colorado Street in South Glendale.

Priority
High priority as identified in RHNA housing needs allocation, community needs survey and community meeting and other outreach. Needs assessment indicates large percentage of extremely low, very low, and low income residents have cost burden and severe cost burden as major housing problem. Both new construction of rental and first time home buyer units increases housing supply to address this problem. Rehabilitation of multi-family residential units is necessary to address problem properties in targeted neighborhoods as well as provide additional affordable housing. Rental assistance programs can address needs of extremely low income elderly and other households. Rents continue to increase and many people are not able to keep up, including seniors and disabled persons.

Narrative (Optional)
In establishing five-year priorities for assistance, the City has taken several concerns into consideration:
• Those categories of low and moderate income households most in need of housing and community development assistance;
• Which activities will best meet the needs of those identified households; and • The extent of federal and other resources available to address these needs.

Given the limited funding, the City does not plan to utilize HOME funds for Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA).

TBRA for Non-Homeless
Special Needs
Given the limited funding, the City does not plan to utilize HOME funds for Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA).

New Unit Production The majority of the City's lower and moderate income households experienced housing cost burden. The supply of affordable housing is limited compared to the need. Based on funding availability and allocations, the City may allocate a portion of the HOME funds to increase the supply of safe, decent, affordable housing for lower income households (including extremely low income households), such as seniors, disabled, the homeless, and those at risk of homelessness.

Rehabilitation Approximately 75 percent of the City’s housing stock was built prior to 1980 and is at least 45 years old. The City will provide assistance to rehabilitate single-family, mobile home and multi-family units.

Acquisition, including
preservation
The City may also pursue acquisition/rehabilitation of multi-family housing and deed-restrict the improved units as affordable housing.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied The City will attempt to leverage CDBG funds, HOME funds, ESG funds, Grants and other funding when appropriate to meet the objective of the Annual Action Plan. The City does add local funds (including unexpended CDBG and HOME funds from prior years if available) to further support the organizations and individuals receiving CDBG and HOME funding.

HOME matching funds requirements for HOME projects will be met through qualifying non-federal contributions to projects as well as use of balances in the Glendale HOME Match Bank from previous projects, if necessary.

The ESG program has a 100 percent matching requirement, which amounts to approximately $150,000 annually. ESG agencies such as Ascencia, Catholic Charities, and Home Again Los Angeles fill ESG matching fund requirements with CDBG and their own private funding.

The Continuum of Care Program has 25 percent matching or leverage funding for all CoC funded programs per project. The City monitors individual CoC funded services provided by Ascencia, the Salvation Army, the Glendale Housing Authority/City of Glendale, and Home Again Los Angeles to ensure they meet the matching fund requirements. All grant activity and matching funds are documented in the Annual Progress Reports submitted to HUD.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The Housing Authority of the City of Glendale (Authority) continues to search for land to acquire for the development of affordable housing.

Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System The strengths in the delivery system are interdepartmental communication and collaboration. City staff from various departments works with each other, with organizations and agencies that assist low- income individuals and with families in Glendale and community residents to establish priorities for utilizing CDBG funding. The primary gap in the delivery system is due to inadequate funding resources.

The need in the City outreaches the funding resources. As a result, even projects with a high priority may have to wait to be funded as the City continues to seek additional funding sources.

The City relies heavily on its partnerships with nonprofit partners to deliver services and assist in the development of affordable housing. These organizations are also heavily impacted by diminishing resources for this work.

Table 54 - Homeless Prevention Services Summary

Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) As previously discussed in the Needs Assessment and Housing Market Analysis sections, while a variety of services are available to the City of Glendale residents; the level of services available is not adequate to meet the needs.

Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above
There are a variety of services for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness in Glendale. However, major gaps in the service delivery system exist:
• Inadequate funding to provide the level of services needed; and • Lack of coordination among different agencies.

Specifically, many homeless service agencies are exploring opportunities to expand their programs and services to meet the changing needs of the community that are brought along by the increase in immigrant population and increasingly diverse population. With an aging population, the need for senior services has also increased in recent years. However, lack of funding is the most significant constraint to adequately address the community’s various needs.

Draft

Consolidated Plan GLENDALE 96
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs The City continues to participate in regional planning groups and forums to foster collaboration with other agencies and organizations. Through collaboration, the City identifies common goals and strategies to avoid overlaps in services and programs and identify potential for leveraging resources.

However, there are key elements in the structure and delivery system, which could be improved. These areas for development include:
• Coordination of youth services;
• Continual capacity building for non-profit organizations; • Transportation to social service agencies;
• Childcare for low-income working families;
• Closer working relationship between apartment owners, property managers and the City; • More English as a Second Language courses for limited English speaking families; and • Effective economic development to help businesses create new livable wage jobs for low income families.

The City of Glendale will attempt to address these gaps through the following strategies:
• Maintaining multi-purpose centers to ensure coordination and efficiency of community services; • Coordinating youth activities;
• Increasing English as a Second Language courses throughout the City; • Continuing involvement of housing providers and social service agencies with the Glendale Continuum of Care;
• Increasing capacity building for non-profit housing and social service organizations through technical assistance and grant writing workshops;
• Increasing the dissemination of housing information to the Glendale Board of Realtors Affordable Housing groups; and
• Better coordination between the CDBG program and workforce development, and the citywide economic development program.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
Lack of Affordable Housing Funds: Similar to other jurisdictions, the availability of funding for affordable housing in Glendale has been severely affected by the dissolution of Redevelopment in the State of California. Similar to most communities across the State, the City lacks a steady source of funding to operate affordable housing programs. Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), one of the most significant funding sources for affordable housing, is highly competitive, and alone cannot provide enough funds for the development of affordable housing. Typically, the development of affordable housing requires multiple levels of public financing. HUD Community Planning and Development (CPD) funds such as CDBG and HOME funds have not kept up the increases in needs. To mitigate the lack of available funds, the City’s 2021–2029 Housing Element includes programs to supply Direct City Financial Assistance (such as land assemblage and write down, below market interest rate loans and grants or deferred payments).

Draft

Consolidated Plan GLENDALE 101
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Local Residential Development Policies and Regulations: Some portions of the City are subject to development constraints due to the presence of hillsides and ridgelines, oak trees, flood potential, seismic hazards, environmental issues, or other special circumstance. Hillsides, ridgelines, and floodplains must be protected from over-development in order to prevent erosion, flooding, damage from landslides, and preserve scenic views. Preservation of significant oak trees is also defined in the General Plan as a community goal because these trees are important biological resources. These constraints affect the development of all housing, not just affordable housing. To mitigate these development constraints, the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element has programs for development opportunities, including Accessory Dwelling Units, Adaptive Re-Use, Public Property Conversions, Density Bonus and Inclusionary Zoning.

Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing The City works to remove barriers to affordable housing and the financial impact of efforts to protect public health and safety by taking actions to reduce costs or provide off-setting financial incentives to assist in the production of safe, high quality, affordable housing. In addition, the City will implement the following actions identified in its 2021-2029 Housing Element to remove barriers to affordable housing:
• Program 1C: Public Property Conversion to Housing Program • Program 1F: Accessory Dwelling Units
• Program 1H: Adequate Alternative Sites
• Program 2A: Multi-family Acquisition/Rehabilitation Loan Program Draft

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy – 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
The City of Glendale understands that in order to further reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness each year, the jurisdiction should take affirmative steps that include setting annual “reduction” goals and adopting and implementing evidence-based and best practices to ensure the goals are met.

Specific to engagement strategy, jurisdictions will work with partner agencies to identify, engage, house, and provide intensive integrated supportive services and treatment to the most vulnerable, visible, and hardest-to-reach chronically homeless single adults and families who have been living on the streets of Glendale.

Additionally, the City of Glendale will focus on supporting street outreach and engagement efforts. Such action will continue to focus on identifying chronically homeless persons in need of a housing first approach. Such attention should be given to the most visible and hardest-to-reach individuals. These actions should have the support of various public and private partners who can help identify, house, and provide social services in order to help implement a housing first approach. Specific outreach strategy will include:
• Outreach: Provide street outreach services to homeless persons and connect clients to the continuum of care.
• Intake, Assessment, Case Management, Supportive Services: Provide intake, assessment, specialized case management, and supportive services to help clients address barriers contributing to homelessness. Enroll 500 persons into specialized case management at Coordinated Entry System.

The 2021-2029 Housing Element lists specific service goals for the community over the 8-year period.

These include:

• Emergency Shelter: 2,500 persons
• Transitional Shelter: 976 beds for persons
• • Permanent Supportive Housing: 720 persons
• Case Management and Supportive Services: 9,600 persons • Prevention Services: 2,000 persons
• Street Outreach: 2,550 unduplicated clients served
• Domestic Violence Programs: 768 persons
• Supportive Services: 20,000 unduplicated clients served

Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons State Housing Law requires that cities identify sites that can adequately accommodate emergency homeless shelters. Additionally, Glendale’s Charter allows applicants to request use variances to allow uses not listed as permitted or conditionally permitted in all other zones except for single family residential zones. Glendale’s existing emergency shelters have been approved through various methods including by-right, by conditional use permit, and by use variance. Specific strategies to addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons will include the following:
• Emergency Shelter: Provide year-round emergency shelter beds and year-round domestic violence crisis shelter beds to homeless persons.
• Transitional Housing: Provide transitional housing for family households at any given time.

Please also see the goals about shelters and transitional housing described above.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.

Chronically homeless persons require rehabilitation services, employment training and placement, health services, and case management to move from homelessness to transitional housing, and then to supportive/permanent housing. The City supports the Continuum of Care’s strategy for constructing housing facilities that help transition chronically homeless persons to a stable housing situation and to receive supportive services that would improve their employment skills.

Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs

Indicator of those “at-risk” of becoming homeless is the percentage of income paid for housing or rent.

Because the housing costs in Glendale are higher than many other Los Angeles communities, housing cost burden is a significant issue for Glendale households. A significant fraction of households are considered overburdened by housing costs. The problem is most acute for renters. Many of these persons are rent burdened and are at-risk of becoming homeless if a financial emergency or job loss occurs. Glendale service providers reported that another obstacle facing the homeless “at-risk” population is underemployment or unemployment because of shifts in the local economy and a lack of viable job skills. Without the appropriate skill development, low-income households are restricted to low paying jobs without opportunity for advancement. Furthermore, some individuals and families are unaware of, or ineligible for, the job training and employment assistance resources available in the community. Other prevalent issues among the homeless “at-risk” population include lack of transportation and affordable childcare. These present difficulties in obtaining and sustaining employment.

Specific strategies will include:
• Homeless Prevention: Provide case management to 50 households and serve 100 households with direct utility and rental assistance.
• Rapid Re-Housing: Provide case management and direct financial assistance to 20 households. • Reallocation: The City of Glendale will reallocate Transitional Housing Programs to Permanent Supportive Housing for Chronic Homeless Families when applicable.

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards – 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards The Housing Authority is requiring the following actions for all existing and operating affordable housing projects that receive assistance with HOME and other HUD CPD funds, in accordance with HUD CPD lead based paint regulations:
• Ensure that all purchasers, occupants, and owner-occupants receive the brochure “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home.”
• Require Visual Assessments for defective paint surface (interior and exterior) and notification of owner if defective paint surfaces are discovered during the assessment. • Require paint testing on surfaces that will be disturbed during rehabilitation. • Require Risk Assessments for housing units that receive more than $5,000 of City assistance using HOME and other HUD CPD funds.
• Require lead hazard reduction treatments of defective paint surfaces that are disturbed during construction or renovation.
• Require safe work practices for all work on lead based paint surfaces. • Require lead hazard clearance prior to occupancy.
• Require on-going maintenance, monitoring and cleaning for rental properties. City staff, as available, will continue to attend HUD-sponsored training in lead-based paint and will coordinate with the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program of Los Angeles County Draft

Department of Health Services – Public Health on an annual basis. This will include obtaining information on the annual number of child lead cases detected in Glendale through referral from local providers of the Child Health Disability Prevention Program which tests children between ages 1 and 2 for elevated blood lead levels.

How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? With more than 75 percent of Glendale’s housing stock built prior to 1980, it becomes important to test these units for lead poisoning and hazards. The age of the housing stock is the key variable for estimating the number of housing units with lead-based paint (LBP). Starting in 1978, the use of all LBP on residential property was prohibited.

National studies estimate that 75 percent of all residential structures built prior to 1970 contain LBP.

Housing built prior to 1940 is highly likely to contain LBP. Using the 75 percent national average of potential LBP hazard and applying it to the amount of units built prior to 1980 in the City, an estimated 42,116 units (15,360 owner-occupied and 26,756 renter-occupied) may contain LBP. Furthermore, approximately 54 percent of households in the City are low and moderate income (earn less than 80 percent of AMI). This translates to approximately 22,911 housing units with potential LBP that may be occupied by low and moderate income households.

Lead poisoning also impacts children more severely, inflecting potentially permanent damage to young children, such as developmental disabilities. Approximately eight percent of the owner-households and one percent of the renter-households built before 1980, have children. Therefore, the number of units with potential LBP hazards and occupied by households with children is estimated at 2,580 units (1,459 owner-occupied units and 476 renter-occupied units).

The City will continue to provide lead-based paint testing when required. To date there have been few to no cases of childhood lead poisoning reported in Glendale by the Los Angeles County Health Department.

How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? In accordance with federal regulations and the City of Glendale’s policy regarding the identification of lead-based paint hazards, all housing built prior to 1978 must undergo lead based paint testing as part of any HOME funded affordable housing project. If deteriorated lead-based paint surfaces are found, it must be stabilized during the rehabilitation of the property. Abatement must be performed by a certified lead-based paint professional and the certified lead-based paint assessor must issue a Clearance Inspection prior to the issuance of the Notice of Completion. Procedures are in place for property managers to notify residents in older buildings assisted with affordable housing funds when they initially lease their unit of the potential dangers of lead based paint and resources available to assist them. Community Development staff monitor these procedures as part of the annual monitoring process.

SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy – 91.215(j)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families The primary emphasis of the anti-poverty strategy, required by CFR 91.215 (h), is to raise the income of Glendale's poorest households, especially those living below the poverty level. This includes providing those households with the educational, training, supportive service and childcare opportunities that will allow them to address barriers to income and career development. Affordable housing opportunities can also allow poorer families to devote additional resources to raising their incomes and furthering their careers.

Community development and housing programs will emphasize further reducing the number of poverty level families. This section describes the jurisdiction's goals, programs, and policies for reducing the number of poverty level families. This section also addresses how the production and preservation of affordable housing will be coordinated with other programs and services for which the jurisdiction is responsible. Identification of the extent this strategy will reduce the number of poverty level families is also included when feasible. The following list of programs will continue to be part of the anti-poverty strategy.
• Affordable Childcare and Youth Programs
• Public Social Services
• Employment, Training and Education
• Transportation
• Housing Programs
• Homeless Services
• Section 3 Employment Program

How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan
The City’s poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies are coordinated with the Economic Development Department, which are: business retention, business attraction, business creation, marketing, pro-business approach to City processes, and local and regional partnerships. These efforts are also coordinated with the Verdugo Workforce Investment Board (WIB), currently focused on the entertainment, healthcare, green jobs, and manufacturing industries. As a coordinated effort, the City as partner agencies will link poverty reduction and community development activities to job creation for low-income residents. Specifically the following will be supports by the City as specific strategies:
• Job Creation/Employment: Continue to fund social service programs that support, leverage, and coordinate employment, ESL, and basic skills programs with WIA programs and the VJC. Begin to explore provision of job center satellites at libraries and neighborhood centers.

Consolidated Plan GLENDALE 107
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
• Business and Technical Assistance: When additional CDBG funding becomes available, continue to explore eligible business assistance activities to help local businesses with technical and strategic support to create jobs for low and moderate-income residents.

SP-80 Monitoring – 91.230
Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements
The City’s Community Services & Parks Department and Community Development Departments are responsible for ensuring that the receipt and expenditure of HUD funds comply with program requirements through the monitoring of program performance for CDBG, ESG, and CoC programs.

Careful evaluation of the housing and public service delivery system can be the most effective tool in detecting gaps and making appropriate modifications. Glendale will follow monitoring procedures identified in the City’s Sub-recipient Monitoring Plan. Other procedures will include in-house review of progress reports and expenditures, and on-site visits to ensure compliance with federal regulations. The monitoring system will encourage uniform reporting to achieve consistent information on beneficiaries.

Monitoring will also aim at resolving any program or accounting findings or other problems that may keep an organization from meeting its contractual obligations. Technical assistance will be provided where necessary. Community Services & Parks, and Community Development staff will regularly monitor specific actions such as minority business outreach and Section 3 compliance.

Furthermore, project and financial data on CDBG-funded activities will be maintained using HUD’s IDIS (Integrated Disbursement Information System) software. Use of this system allows HUD staff easy access to local data for review and progress evaluation.

The Community Services & Parks Department serves as the lead agency on Consolidated Planning and Reporting, labor compliance reporting and other Uniform Federal Requirements for all CPD grants activities.

Project and financial data on HOME-funded activities will be maintained using HUD’s IDIS (Integrated Disbursement Information System) software. Use of this system allows HUD staff easy access to local data for review and progress evaluation.

The City ensures compliance by:
• Checking project eligibility against regulations and staying in constant communication with the City's HUD CPD representative.
• Reviewing HUD's monitoring handbook to ensure compliance with national objectives HOME Entitlement Program requirements
• Reviewing CPD notices on HOME program and planning requirements Draft

Share information with citizens through email, Facebook, GWP Bill, advertising plans and meetings via Glendale Unified School District (GUSD).

Give us a texting option so we can remember to attend meetings.

Add flyers to weekly newsletters sent to parents and participants in organizations. Examples include GUSD and GWP Bill
Continue to do dinners and raffles so people to be willing to attend meetings.

In-person meetings are preferred because they are more interactive with the public.

II. Housing
Offer a discount to young adults to be able to afford their own homes in Glendale. Very difficult with the pricing.

What limit services to only developmentally disabled can include mentally disabled. I have a stable medically complaint bipolar daughter in her 30’s.

Rents are too high and we have only been here a few years and our salaries are not enough to pay rent and have a better life to help ourselves. We are learning English and what we get in salaries are not sufficient to be able to live comfortably.

Need Rent Control
Salaries are not going up with rent increases, utilities and food increases. We cant live and feel we are being pushed out.

Rents are too high and it is difficult to afford because it does not keep with fixed rates.

The City provides a lotto for housing but some seniors keep applying but end up not wining the lottery.

Seems unfair.

Apartment owners are increasing rent by 9% every year for the past 2 years. Its relentless to keep up.

Rent prices are too high and not affordable.

Rent is too expensive; immigrants cannot afford to live in the city in a a studio even. $1,600 for a studio and we still cannot afford to live.

Need Rent Control
Rent is increasing every year and seniors are being priced out of Glendale.

Need more affordable housing
The City should spent money on senior renters to help their living situations since many of them are afraid of losing their homes.

All your projects are great for all the mentioned groups. We would also like to see as where “neurodivergent” adults would fall under or in fact they don’t fall under any of the mentioned group.

Therefore, is the City of Glendale going to start a group category for these residents who have “behavioral health issues’ but the also need to be able to live an independent life.

As the caregiver of an adult that is neurodivergent and on the autism spectrum safety is a concern.

Representing a nonprofit 2BHappy our concern is about having one or more of our parks being developed to accommodate the individual within the Autism spectrum, especially that parks have fence around so parents will not be worried for child’s elopement. (running off without realizing safety of self) As a board member of 2BHappy nonprofit organization, Behavioral Analysist we suggest that the City of Glendale separate behavioral health from mental health and provides free behavioral health consultations to all needs. Additionally, all public places and all events must be environmentally modified for those with behavioral dx.

Beeline is overcrowded in the morning by Hoover High School 7:44am to 8:05am.

Women’s Self Defense classes are important and provided by the City is in dire need.

In all neighborhoods, park improvements such as public safety cameras are needed. This could increase the safety of being in walkable areas, making people feel more comfortable.

Youth/Childcare Centers and South Glendale Parks can be higher on the priority list for community facility improvements. Everyone wants a place to go and feel safe at.

IV. . Community Development/ Economic Development
Infrastructure development sidewalk improvement and bus shelters.

Aging population and sight and hearing disabilities crosswalk buttons that talk, rigid grids on sidewalks like the sidewalks in Japan.

Bus Shelters not just for Metro but for Beeline too.

Personally witnessed young man using a white cane fall into a open tree box, ran into outside patio dining on sidewalk.

Need better paying jobs so we can afford rent. The American Dream is not available to us in Glendale.

Brand Blvd Project; Fremont Park are not finished; Brand project took away lanes; it has created more traffic congestion. Took away parking;
Parking throughout the City is limited.

Excessive Speeding and Safety is a major concern for us.

Gas and GWP bills are higher than ever. When will this stop? Residents cant continue to pay pay pay.

Need more police presence. Crime Prevention is important these days; need surveillance and more cops.

Hard to find jobs to provide for our families. Good paying jobs are non-existent.

Need more bus stations
Better sidewalks, benches and walking paths are needed.

V. Homelessness
It seems that we are getting an influx of homeless individuals Sidewalks are inaccessible because homeless have their belongings there.

There are piles of trash in alleyways.

We pay through the nose for rent however we have to share the space with homeless in downtown Glendale who trash the area with their debris and carts. City needs to put a stop to this.

What is the Library doing about or should be concerned about the number of homeless individuals in the libraries and around the area. This creates many issues such as bedbugs, mental health challenges, and aggressive behavior. Needs to have limits to this problem which is affecting the rest of the Glendale residents.

Email Comments
Other way to REALLY IMPROVE Glendale way of life and FOR BUSINESSES is to KEEP minimum 2 lanes EACH DIRECTION and REMOVE BICYCLE LANES in main streets.

Among others, Brand Blvd between (Glenoaks and Mountain) is an accident waiting to happen, if not yet seeing evidence of this.

Seems that the simplest way to improve low/moderate income residents of Glendale is to help them find good-paying jobs.

Why not make Glendale attractive for Businesses who can then generate/offer jobs to those who wish to work.

One way to do this is to offer some sort of income supplement to WORKING PEOPLE.

When I moved to Glendale in the 70’s, people chose Glendale before Burbank/Pasadena.

Today, Burbank/Pasadena has more Businesses with good-paying jobs and property values (hence property taxes) are higher
than Glendale properties (which of course are not cheap by any measure).

However, it seems that Glendale is the first choice for those who want social services – which is fine if we choose to be ‘the go-to place for this.

Glendale would be entirely different city if/when we CHOOSE/DECIDE to promote Businesses instead of Social Services.

Telephone Comments
Need to help seniors who are experiencing homelessness
Beeline needs to be more accessible with routes

programs. The needs of this
population may include all
ESG eligible activities
including emergency shelter,

The City will attempt to leverage CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds with other private and local funding when appropriate to meet the objective of the Annual Action Plan. The City does add local General Funds (including unexpended CDBG and HOME funds from prior years if available) to further support the organizations receiving CDBG and HOME funding.

The City uses a variety of funding sources to leverage its HOME allocation. Some sources include State of California Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds, State of California Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Asset Funds, and local Measure S Funds. The City has a project in construction - 515 Pioneer Drive. The project utilized HOME dollars and received the following funding: California Housing Finance Agency Mixed-Income Program Funding and 4% bonds from the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee. 426 Piedmont, another affordable housing project in construction used leverage funding for the acquisition, including Measure S Funds, State Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Funds, and State of California Permanent Local Housing Allocation fund.

HOME (25%) matching funds requirements for HOME projects will be met through qualifying non-federal contributions to projects as described above, as well as use of balances in the Glendale HOME Match Bank from previous projects, if necessary.

CDBG has no matching fund requirement; however, the City extensively leverages its CDBG funds with the City’s General Revenue and Capital Improvement Project funds (CIP) for construction projects. City General Revenue and County of LA Department of Aging and Disabilities grant funds will also provide leverage for City operated social service programs which support CDBG program activities and goals. The amount of General Fund and LA County Grant support for senior services is approximately $750,000 per year. Previously, Supportive Services Program and Elderly Nutrition Program was partially funded with CDBG and the Elderly Nutrition Program is currently receiving CDBG-CV funding to help feed seniors as a response to the pandemic. In addition, the social service agencies supported by CDBG funds utilize a variety of private and non- federal funds to leverage CDBG funds.
“Workforce Investment Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds in the amount of $3,273,455 per year are received by the Verdugo Workforce Development Board and utilized to support workforce programs for individuals with the greatest barriers such as low income, homeless, English language learners, including participants of the CDBG funded Youth Employment Program.” The ESG program has a 100 percent matching requirement, which amounts $152,328 for FY 2025-26. Agencies such as Ascencia, the YWCA of Glendale and Pasadena, Catholic Charities and Home Again LA must meet ESG matching fund requirements with CDBG and/or their own private funding. Matching funds will be monitored by staff to ensure compliance with the 100 percent match requirements under the ESG Program. The Draft

City matches its ESG Administration funding with City General Revenue funds.

The Continuum of Care Program has 25% cash match or in-kind matching funding for all CoC funded programs per project. The City monitors individual CoC funded services provided by Ascencia, the Salvation Army, the Glendale Housing Authority/City of Glendale, and Home Again LA to ensure compliance. All grant activity and match documentation are submitted monthly with invoices. Staff conducts annual program and financial monitoring which also include the review of match documentation for each sub-recipient contract with the CoC.

Description Established in 1947, Pelanconi Park is one of the oldest parks in Glendale and retains much of its original character. Located on a triangular property south of Glenoaks, the park is divided into three sections. In the center section are a combination of tree-covered picnic areas, children’s playgrounds (replaced in 2022 with funding from CDBG), a restroom building, and exercise equipment (installed in 2018). The south section, at an acute angle of the triangle parcel, is an open grass field. And the northern section has a baseball stadium, with bleachers and lights for night games, and an informal basketball half-court/driveway. The baseball backstop and dugout fencing were installed in 1974, and most of this infrastructure remains. The Pelanconi Park Renovation Project will address park infrastructure deficiencies, including replacing the backstop fencing, replacement of asphalt around the baseball field and the basketball half-court, replacing/repairing the bleachers, and replacing irrigation in the south end of the park (outside the baseball field). The project is estimated to cost $100,000 and be completed by Spring 2026.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The City’s target areas are defined by physical, social and economic conditions, which include concentrations of minority and low- and moderate-income households, areas of poverty, above average crime rates, higher concentrations of multi-family housing, and substandard housing conditions. Based on the analysis of these conditions and trends, southern Glendale is determined to be the primary target area for use of federal funds. The southern portion of the City is located south of Broadway, between San Fernando Road and the eastern boundary.

Southern Glendale will receive the largest amount of CDBG funding. An estimated 70% of the entire FY 2025-2026 CDBG and ESG funds will be used to fund social services, housing, community centers, and public improvements that will benefit low- and moderate-income residents living in Southern Glendale.

Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
SOUTHERN GLENDALE 70
Table 59 - Geographic Distribution

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically As mentioned above and described in detail in the City's Consolidated Plan, CDBG and ESG funding will be utilized primarily in southern Glendale due to the high concentration of low-income families and minority concentrations. The need for affordable housing is present throughout the City. Use of HOME funds is highly dependent upon topography (flat land suitable for multi-family development), identification of vacant (or underutilized) and properly zoned sites. The Housing Element (Chapter 5.

Resources, Section 5C Residential Sites Inventory, and Appendix A: Housing Sites Inventory) identifies land suitable and available for residential development to meet the City’s regional housing need by income level, and housing capacity for future multi-family residential development. The limited supply of developable vacant land in Glendale has accounted for a steady increase in raw land costs.

Opportunity to purchase these sites for a reasonable cost is major determining factor of affordable housing location.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
The City of Glendale (City) has several collaborative partners through both the Continuum of Care (CoC)and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs that are working to solve the issue of homelessness for those who are sheltered, unsheltered, chronically homeless, and those who are at risk of becoming homeless. From the results of the overall homeless Point-in-Time in 2025, homelessness has increased by 13%. The city has been implementing Housing First and Rapid Re-Housing program models to increase the number of beds for the Glendale CoC. Chronically homeless individuals and families including other sub-populations are assessed and prioritized for housing placement. The City’s Action Plan also includes goals to service the needs of non-homeless special needs population as described below.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including:

Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
Due to wildfires, the 2025 count was postponed and conducted on February 19. The count identified 197 individuals experiencing homelessness in Glendale, a 13% increase from 175 in 2024. This figure includes both sheltered (110) and unsheltered (87) individuals.

Adult-only households represented 61% (120 individuals), a 17% increase from the prior year, while households with children accounted for 39% (77 individuals), a 7% increase. The number of households experiencing domestic violence has increased by 20% from 20 in 2024 to 24 in 2025. Youth under 18 make up the largest percentage of the shelter homeless population (46%) and are primarily members of families fleeing domestic violence. This aging population represents 25% of the sheltered population and 43% of the unsheltered population and is particularly vulnerable, often facing greater health challenges and limited access to resources, highlighting the need for intensive wrap-around support and intervention. Lastly, of the 87 unsheltered individuals surveyed, 20 (23%) reported having at least one disabling condition-nearly doubled the 12 cases reported in 2024.

The unsheltered population, consisting of people living in places not meant for habitation, rose by 9% to 87 individuals, while the sheltered population, those in emergency shelters or transitional housing, increased by 16%, with 110 individuals counted. Chronic homelessness increased by 44% in 2025, with 26 individuals identified compared to 18 in 2024. Of those identified in 2025, 17 were unsheltered nearly triple the number from 2024, when 6 chronically homeless individuals were unsheltered. This data highlights a growing need for targeted interventions to support indi viduals with long-term housing and mental health resources. It’s important to note that of the 110 sheltered individuals counted on the night of the survey, only 9 individuals (8%) were identified as chronically homeless. This represents a 25% decrease from the 12 individuals identified as chronically homeless in the 2024 sheltered count. The decrease in chronic homelessness among the sheltered population is likely due to the availability of Draft

emergency housing vouchers and more temporary housing options, which have provided a pathway out of homelessness for some individuals
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Use State of California funding - Homeless Housing, Assistance, and Prevention (HHAP) Program– county Measure H, and Measure A funds and local funding to increase Interim Housing Programs and improve collaboration with Mainstream and Health Care Service Providers to quickly re-house the homeless population in Glendale. In addition, used State funds to prepare a local Homelessness Action Plan to better identify the needs of the unhoused population. The City received HHAP Round 3,4 and 5 funds totaling $942,784.75. HHAP Round 3 and 4 funds are being utilized to increase the number of Rapid Rehousing beds in the Community along with landlord incentives, outreach and coordination, systems support, and delivery of permanent housing and innovation housing solutions. Since the approval of the Glendale Homeless Action Plan, the city has tripled its number of interim housing and rapid rehousing beds for the unhoused community and those who are at-risk.

In order to finish the job, the public and private partners should continue to implement the best practices identified below.
• Permanent supportive housing and a Housing First approach through the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program, which combines Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance for homeless Veterans with case management and clinical services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). VA provides these services for participating Veterans at VA medical centers (VAMCs) and community-based outreach clinics; • Rapid Re-Housing and a Housing First approach through the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program, which provides supportive services to very low-income Veteran families that are currently in or transitioning to permanent housing. SSVF is designed to rapidly re-house homeless Veteran families and prevent homelessness for those at imminent risk due to a housing crisis; and
• City will prioritize veterans for the Shelter Plus Care (SPC) Rental Assistance Voucher program Draft

and coordinate affordable housing placements with Veterans Village.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

People “at-risk” of becoming homeless include very low-income individuals and families who, because of a number of barriers, are in immediate threat of becoming homeless. Among the risk factors to becoming homeless are poverty and high housing costs. In terms of subpopulations, seniors, those who are released from correctional institutions, and emancipated youth from the foster care system are especially vulnerable to becoming homeless.

The number of households “at-risk” for homelessness is directly related to poverty rates. According to the Economic Roundtable’s report Homelessness in Los Angeles, approximately one quarter of Los Angeles County residents with incomes below 50 percent of the poverty threshold become homeless at some point during the year. According to 2022 ACS Census data, for the City of Glendale as a whole, the total percentage of persons below poverty level was 13.4 percent, a decrease from the 13.9 poverty level from the 2020 Census. However, the poverty rates for southern Glendale residents are significantly higher with certain census tracts with 30 percent poverty rates. Although public assistance benefits do provide some help for those in poverty, General Relief benefits are usually inadequate for a person to maintain housing. According to a separate report by the Economic Roundtable, over half of the individuals who receive General Relief experience homelessness.

Another indicator of those “at-risk” of becoming homeless is the percentage of income paid for housing or rent. Because the housing costs in Glendale are higher than many other Los Angeles communities, housing cost burden is a significant issue for Glendale low-income households. A significant fraction of low-income households are considered overburdened by housing costs as documented in the Consolidated Plan. The problem is most acute for renters. Many of these persons are rent burdened and are at-risk of becoming homeless if a financial emergency or job loss occurs. Glendale service providers reported that another obstacle facing the homeless “at-risk” population is underemployment or unemployment because of shifts in the local economy and a lack of viable job skills. Without the appropriate skill development, low-income households are restricted to low paying jobs without opportunity for advancement. Furthermore, some individuals and families are unaware of, or ineligible for, the job training and employment assistance resources available in the community. Other prevalent issues among the homeless “at-risk” population include lack of transportation and affordable childcare.

These present difficulties in obtaining and sustaining employment.

Specific strategies will include:
• Homeless Prevention: Provide case management to 55 households, and serve 50 households with direct utility and rental assistance.
• Rapid Re-Housing: Provide case management and direct financial assistance to 6 households.

• Reallocation: The City of Glendale has reallocated a supportive service only program to Coordinated Entry System (CES) for servicing 500 persons.
• Job Training Programs: Improve utilization of the Verdugo Jobs Center, a workforce development funded one-stop employment center for skill development, job training, and employment counseling for 20 persons.

Discussion
Rental assistance is a short-term way to assist low-income renters burdened with housing overpayment.

Glendale has a large elderly population, on fixed income, faced with spending most of their incomes on housing costs. Rental assistance will continue to be a key strategy for assisting this group in the next year for very low-income renters burdened with housing overpayment.

Section 8 Emergency Housing Vouchers available through ARPA to address impact of the pandemic on the economy, public health, individuals, businesses. HUD is providing 70,000 housing choice vouchers to local PHAs to assist individuals/families.

On May 2021, Glendale Housing Authority was awarded 225 new EHVs for Section 8 Program under the ARPA and $4,268,736 in funding for the program. To date, 194 of the 225 EHVs have been qualified and have been place in units. Staff continues to work with our CoC in identifying more homeless or at-risk of homelessness clients for processing and qualifying.

About additional special needs, in 2018, Glendale Housing Authority applied for and was awarded 14 Mainstream vouchers. Mainstream vouchers assist non-elderly persons with developmental disabilities.

Aside from serving a special population, Mainstream vouchers are administered using the same rules as other Housing Choice Vouchers. The Glendale Housing Authority continues to successfully leased all 14 vouchers and continue to administer them.

426 Piedmont Avenue, an acquisition and substantial rehabilitation project, the City intends to reserve 25-30 units for seniors experiencing homelessness, & seniors who are at risk of homelessness, per the City’s approved HOME-ARP Allocation Plan.

Housing Development and Preservation: The City has developed 7 projects with nonprofit development partners to provide affordable housing for physically/developmentally disabled households. In those projects, the Housing Authority provided approximately $9 million in affordable housing financing towards their development.

These projects ranged between physical and/or developmentally disabled facilities in either a group home or independent living facilities format and total 78 units that serve approximately 97 households. Of the four (4) new construction independent living facilities, three (3) were developed in conjunction with HUD under their 811 program. The HUD 811 program serves very low income, developmentally disabled adults. This program allows persons with disabilities to live as independently Draft

as possible in the community by increasing the supply of rental housing with supportive services provided by the developer and monthly rental housing assistance provided by HUD directly through project-based Section 8 housing vouchers.

The remaining 3 projects were developed as single-family group homes. These 3 projects involved the acquisition and rehabilitation of single-family homes in R-1 zoned neighborhoods and were all sponsored by The Campbell Center. These homes provide housing for up to 23 individuals with disabilities.

All of these projects currently have waiting lists or referral systems for consideration for housing placement. While the waiting lists on many of them remain open for people to apply and are much smaller in number than other housing project waiting lists, the wait time for vacancies remains challenging for those in need.

City continues to work the DVA and New Directions, to help house & offer supportive services to VASH voucher holders. Collaborations and referrals continue with Armenian Relief Society and City of Glendale Community Services & Parks. The CoC will provide housing to homeless disabled persons. Supportive services for CoC program residents are provided by local service providers with expertise in the residents’ disabilities.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

The City works to remove barriers to affordable housing and the financial impact of efforts to protect public health and safety by taking actions to reduce costs or provide off-setting financial incentives to assist in the production of safe, high quality, affordable housing.

Actions planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment include:
• Continue to streamline the environmental review process for housing developments, using available state categorical exemptions and federal categorical exclusions, when applicable. • Continue to improve the permit processing and planning approval processes to minimize the delay in housing development in general and affordable housing development in particular. • Additional actions as noted below.

The Planning Division is finalizing amendments to the mixed use and commercial corridor zoning standards to assess any barriers to residential and mixed-use development. The updates will enable projects to maximize the available residential development potential in those commercial and mixed- use zones, thereby resulting in a future increase in the amount of affordable residential units. As identified in the 2021-2029 Housing Element Program 3E: Mixed Use Standards on Transportation Corridors, the study has been completed and new zoning will be implemented by the Community Development Department by the end of 2025 (delayed from October 2024).

The Planning Division is also finalizing changes to existing zoning standards that will address housing constraints to potential development within multi-family zone designations, as well as working with residential development community to encourage and produce multi-family projects. As part of the updates to existing zoning standards, the City is implementing objective design standards for multi- family developments to streamline review and ensure quality housing options. This is consistent with the 2021-2029 Housing Element Program 9B: Zoning Code Amendments – Housing Constraints, subprogram 9B(D) - Streamlined and Ministerial Review for Eligible Affordable Housing Projects: The Zoning Code will be updated to ensure that eligible multifamily projects with an affordable component are provided streamlined review and are only subject to objective design standards consistent with State law, and subprogram 9B(I) - Objective Standards. The City will prepare and adopt new objective design standards for multifamily and mixed-use projects.

Additionally, the City is working on the first comprehensive update to the Land Use Element of the General Plan since 1986 (with subsequent amendments). When implemented, the new Element will allow for increased density limits in several residentially zoned neighborhoods close to transit, permit Draft

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
housing development on certain City-owned parking lot sites and resolve conflicts between the Land Use Element and zoning ordinance. Adoption is anticipated by the end of 2025 or early 2026. The Land Use Element will create an efficient pattern of land use that is aligned with the updated Mobility Element (formerly the Circulation Element) to facilitate affordable housing development in areas best served by transit. This work will be coordinated with the planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) North Hollywood to Pasadena route that passes through Glendale and will be in implemented prior to the opening of the BRT. This is in line with Housing Element Policy 1.4 to encourage higher-density residential development in proximity to public transportation, jobs, services, and activity centers.

The City of Glendale’s Density Bonus Program offers major incentives for developers of market-rate, affordable, and senior housing—including up to a 50% density bonus for eligible market-rate projects, 80% for 100% affordable projects, and unlimited density for certain projects meeting additional criteria.

Glendale continues to approve affordable units under this program, which is administered in compliance with state law. The City is currently updating its Density Bonus ordinance in coordination with other zoning updates, with adoption expected in late 2025 or early 2026. The City also Discussion:

The 2021-2029 City of Glendale Housing Element has several programs to limit or reduce barriers to residential housing generally that often reduce barriers to affordable housing as well. These include the ones described above, as well as the new program introduced for the 2022-2029 Housing Element is Program 7C: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Program.

Program 7C Description: The City of Glendale is committed to doing its part to affirmatively further fair housing. Affirmatively furthering fair housing means taking meaningful actions, in addition to combating discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics. Specifically, affirmatively furthering fair housing means taking meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity, replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns, transforming racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity, and fostering and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws.

The duty to affirmatively further fair housing extends to all of a public agency’s activities and programs relating to housing and community development. The City will consider its duty to affirmatively further fair housing within the local and regional context, to ensure that City goals, policies, and programs address both local and regional fair housing concerns.

Program goals (“Action Areas”) include Fair Housing Education and Outreach, Housing Mobility Enhancement, New Housing Choices and Affordability in High Opportunity Areas, Place-Based Strategies for Community Preservation and Revitalization, and Displacement Protection. Table HP-1 in the Housing Element summarizes the fair housing issues, program objectives, and implementing actions for the AFFH Program goals; the City is working towards completing the outlined actions that include tasks such as Draft

Annual Action Plan
2025
166
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
encouraging development of ADUs and JADUS to expand housing opportunities (Program 1F), supporting public property conversion to housing (Program 1C), continued implementation of the City’s Inclusionary Zoning requirement (Program 3C) and Density Bonus Program (Program 3A), creation of an Adaptive Reuse Ordinance (Program 1E), and conserving existing and future affordable units (Program 2E).

Lastly, the City continues to implement proposed process improvements to help streamline development of affordable housing. In 2023, 4Leaf (consultant) conducted an evaluation of existing conditions within the Planning Division and Permit Services and to provide a report with recommendations to reduce the overall review time, create more predictability and clarity within the development approval and permitting processes, and enhance customer service and improve the entitlement process. The report was reviewed by the City Council late November 2023, and process improvements proposed within the document are being implemented in a phased timeline. In 2024, the City implemented Municipal Code amendments to the design review and entitlement approval processes to create more streamlined simpler, more predictable, and faster processes for many projects. Additionally, improvements were made to the building permit process to reduce review times and redundancies in the process. Specifically, a cooperative plan check between the Fire Department and Building and Safety was introduced to streamline review of most business and mercantile tenant improvements.

The City is also in the process of updating its Density Bonus Ordinance and ADU Ordinance to reflect State legislation and ensure streamlined development of such projects. These are all in keeping with the City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element’s Goal 3, Policy 3.12: Continue to monitor local, state and federal regulations, ordinances, departmental processing procedures and fees related to their impact on housing costs.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

The following section describes the City’s planned actions to carry out the following strategies that were outlined in the Consolidated Plan with actions that will occur during the program year. These include actions to:

• Address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
• Foster and maintain affordable housing
• Evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards
• Reduce the number of poverty-level families
• Develop and enhance the institutional structure
• Enhance coordination
The priorities for the FY 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan, which form the basis for establishing objectives and outcomes in the FY 2025-202 Action Plan, are as follows:
• Services for the Homeless
• Funding for Public Facilities
• Funding for Public Social Services
• Funding for Public/Neighborhood Improvements
• Funding for Housing
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs For FY 25-26, Glendale will continue to search for sites to acquire to provide affordable housing for underserved populations. While the City expects a reduction in some funding annual allocations, it will continue to work with development partners, private and nonprofit to assist in competing for leveraged development funds. It may also utilize local funds where needed to assist with the acquisition of property for future affordable housing development.

For FY 25-26, the City will also look to collaborate with local Community Housing Development Organizations to create projects that provide housing for underserved populations.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City continues to monitor affordable housing covenants and their expiration dates within the City. As expiration dates approach, the City contacts owners on a proactive basis to determine how to Draft

Annual Action Plan
2025
168
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
preserve affordable housing including leveraging rehabilitation funds from federal and state sources.

The City aggressively implements affordable housing density bonus programs, to provide affordable housing units in private, for profit residential developments. It expects to work with an estimated 6 private developers to either enter into density bonus agreements for a number of affordable housing units within their development, or collect a fee to be used for future affordable housing development.

The City, as identified in the 2021-2029 Housing Element, is implementing nine comprehensive program strategies to address the City’s housing needs, including: Provision of Adequate Sites, Preservation and Enhancement of Existing Housing Stock, Production of Affordable Housing, Rental Assistance, Increase Homeownership Opportunities, Housing Services, Fair Housing, Sustainability, and Removal Constraints. Each of these comprehensive program strategies feature a series of specific programs that implement each program strategy that include program goals, funding source(s), responsible agency and implementation time frame.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
On an annual basis the City tracks lead based paint poisoning cases as identified by the Los Angeles County Health Department (within privacy limits) to determine trends and areas with increased instances of lead based paint hazards. As part of annual compliance monitoring, staff is checking to make sure that proper notification of tenants of lead based paint hazards in age appropriate buildings is taking place and is notifying property managers of mitigation measures necessary to address any potential hazards.

In conjunction with the city’s Section 8 program, the Glendale Housing Authority and property owners participating in the Section 8 program share responsibilities to meet lead-based paint requirements when a poisoned child, or child with an “Elevated Blood Lead Level” (EBLL), is identified. When a child less than age six, living in public housing or an assisted unit, is found to have an EBLL, the Health Department usually notifies the family and the property owner. The owner of the property has the responsibility to notify the Glendale Housing Authority.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The primary emphasis of the anti-poverty strategy is to raise the income of Glendale's poorest households, especially those living below the poverty level. This includes providing those households with the educational, training, supportive service and childcare opportunities that will allow them to address barriers to income and career development. Affordable housing opportunities can also allow poorer families to devote additional resources to raising their incomes and furthering their careers.

While the City has no control over the majority of the factors affecting poverty, it may be able to assist those living below the poverty line. The City supports other governmental, private, and nonprofit agencies involved in providing services to low and moderate income residents and coordinates efforts Draft

Annual Action Plan
2025
169
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
with these groups where possible to allow for more efficient delivery of services.

The community development and housing programs will emphasize the need to further reduce the number of poverty level families in the next Consolidated Plan cycle. The programs listed below describe the jurisdiction's goals, programs, and policies for reducing the number of poverty level families. The following list of programs will continue to be part of the anti-poverty strategy. • Affordable Childcare and Youth Programs
• Public Social Services
• Employment, Training and Education (Workforce Investment Opportunity Act programs) • Transportation
• Housing Programs
• Homeless Services
• Section 3 Employment Program
The City’s affordable housing objectives for reducing poverty include increasing affordable rental opportunities through new construction, increasing affordable home ownership opportunities for first time home buyers through new construction, preserving and maintaining the existing affordable rental housing stock. These objectives and the programs which result from them, form a major component of the anti-poverty strategy by reducing the cost burden of housing, and by creating linkages with Glendale’s homeless continuum of care.

Programs for providing housing and supportive services to homeless families and the strategies for increasing affordable housing for low-income and special needs households are described in the Housing Strategies and Homeless Needs Assessment sections.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City’s community development, homeless, and housing institutional structure and delivery system in Glendale is quite efficient. However, there are key elements in the structure and delivery system which could be improved. The City of Glendale will attempt to address these gaps through the following strategies and actions:
• Maintaining multi-purpose centers to ensure coordination and efficiency of community services; • Coordinating youth and senior citizen programs with City and community agencies; • Continuing involvement of housing providers and social service agencies with the Glendale Continuum of Care Committee;
• Increasing capacity building for non-profit housing and social service organizations through non- profit summit, technical assistance and grant writing workshops; • Increasing the dissemination of housing information to the Glendale Board of Realtors Draft

2025
170
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Affordable Housing groups; and
• Increasing coordination of the CDBG and CoC programs with workforce development programs, and the citywide economic development program.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
The City will continue to collaborate with public and private housing and social service agencies to meet the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan. The City would continue to have regular technical assistance funding meetings with social service community agencies and other ongoing meetings with the Continuum of Care Committee and special coalitions such as the Glendale Healthy Start Committee, Glendale Healthier Community Coalition, Glendale Mental Health Task Force, and other special community coalitions. The City also coordinates its Economic Development activities with the Workforce Investment Opportunity Act program which directly links with private business, industries, and job developers through the Verdugo Job Center located and operated by the City of Glendale.

The City will continue to provide technical assistance and development project management coordination and assistance to nonprofit affordable housing developers as their projects request funding and proceed through permitting and construction and lease up process.

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program continues the collaborative effort with public and private housing and social service agencies to provide much needed services to the neediest populations in Glendale. Although, the majority of voucher participants are very low income elderly, disabled households, we assist the formerly homeless and those receiving VASH vouchers.

On May 10, 2021, the Glendale Housing Authority (Authority) was notified that it had been awarded 225 new EHVs for the Section 8 Program under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). Accordingly, the Authority has also been awarded $4,268,736 in funding for the program. Of that amount, $3,033,456 is designated for rental assistance while the remainder, $1,235,280 is designated for administrative costs, bonus achievement awards, incentive programs, and services fees.

The Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs) program was made available through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 to address the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, public health, State and local governments, individuals, and businesses. Through EHVs, HUD provided 70,000 housing choice vouchers to local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) in order to assist individuals and families who are:
• Homeless;
• At-risk of homelessness;
• Fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or Draft

human trafficking; or
• Were recently homeless or have a high risk of housing instability.

To date, in collaboration with CoC Partners, the Authority has leased up 225 EHVs, (100% utilization rate).

Our Agency continues to work the Department of Veteran’s Affairs and the non-profit group New Directions, to help house and offer supportive services to VASH voucher holders. Our agency has recently collaborated with Brilliant Corners to house formerly homeless voucher holders. Long term collaborations and referrals continue with the Armenian Relief Society and Services provided through City of Glendale Community Services & Parks.
