CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA
REPORT TO THE JOINT MEETING: GLENDALE CITY COUNCIL AND

GLENDALE HOUSING AUTHORITY

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Transfer of Reserve Account Funds to Linc 328 Mira Loma LLC, the New Owner of Metro Loma, an Affordable Housing Project Located at 328 Mira Loma Avenue.

1. City Council Resolution of Appropriation in the Amount of $65,838.76;

2. City Council Motion Authorizing Release of Funds.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for November 18, 2025 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Metro Loma Apartments (Metro Loma) is an affordable, rental housing, tax credit project located at 328 Mira Loma Avenue. The Glendale Housing Authority (GHA) owns the land and leased the Property to Metro Loma, LP. The first lender was California Community Reinvestment Corporation (CCRC).

The Glendale Housing Authority purchased the note held by CCRC in June 2025 after the previous owner defaulted on the loan, preventing CCRC from foreclosing on Metro Loma. Upon purchase, CCRC released funds it held in a reserve account to the Housing Authority.

In August 2025, the Housing Authority approved Linc 328 Mira Loma LLC as the new owner and National CORE as the new management company. With the new owner and management company in place, it is appropriate for Glendale to transfer the funds previously held by CCRC from the reserve account to the new owner. 4 of 77

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the resolution of appropriation in the amount of $65,838.76 and authorize the release of funds in order to return the replacement reserve balance to Metro Loma.

ANALYSIS
Metro Loma is an affordable rental housing, tax credit project for lower income families located at 328 Mira Loma Avenue. The development consists of 44 units: 1 one-bedroom, 29 two-bedroom, and 13 three-bedroom units, along with one manager’s unit. Rents are targeted at households earning 30% to 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). The Glendale Housing Authority (GHA) owns the land and currently leases the Property to Linc 328 Metro Loma LLC.

On May 20, 2025, the City Council and the Housing Authority authorized staff to acquire the note held by CCRC in order to avoid foreclosure of Metro Loma. The note was purchased on June 16, 2025.

In addition to purchasing the note, GHA, along with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA), took a number of actions to preserve Metro Loma as an affordable housing project. GHA purchased the note from the 1 st lender, CCRC and together with LACDA, identified means necessary to stabilize the cash flow of the project as well as fund cash flow and replacement reserves.

One of Metro Loma’s reserves, the replacement reserve, was not held by ownership but rather CCRC. When the Housing Authority purchased the note from CCRC, effectively removing CCRC from Metro Loma, CCRC released those funds to the Housing Authority.

This was done in June 2025 because at the time, the new owner of Metro Loma had not been identified or approved.

The Housing Authority approved Linc 328 Mira Loma LLC as the new owner and National CORE as the new management company in August 2025. With the new owner and management company in place, and with repairs to the property scheduled to take place November 10th, it is appropriate for Glendale to transfer the funds from the replacement reserve account to the new owner to ensure Metro Loma is well maintained.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Not applicable at this time.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no negative fiscal impact to the Housing Authority as a result of this action. The $65,838.76 being requested for release represents replacement reserve funds previously held by CCRC Bank and returned to the City following the payoff and acquisition of the Metro Loma first mortgage. These funds were deposited into the Affordable Housing Trust Fund pending final project transfer. 5 of 77

Approval of this action will authorize the transfer of the $65,838.76 from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund back to the new ownership entity, Linc 328 Mira Loma, LLC (Linc Housing), in accordance with the revised project financing and regulatory documents approved on August 12, 2025.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The action of transferring funds from the replacement reserve account to the new owner, Linc Housing, to ensure Metro Loma (the already- existing Project) is well maintained, is exempt from further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations ("CEQA Guidelines") for all of the following reasons: 1) the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) because the Project is already built, the funding will go to routine maintenance/repair, and any maintenance or repair work will undergo independent CEQA review at the time if/when such repairs are proposed; 2) the activity is not a project under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) and 15378(b)(4) because it constitutes the creation of government funding mechanisms or other governmental fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and 3) the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and here, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Do not approve the resolution of appropriation and motion to release the funds. This would be a detriment to the financial stability of Metro Loma. 6 of 77

Item Type: Action Item
Approved for November 18, 2025 calendar

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council and Housing Authority approve the FY 2026-2027 CDBG program priorities; FY 2026-2027 Proposed CDBG Funding Allocation Plan by Funding Category; and issuance of an RFP to CDBG community agencies for public social services and capital improvement projects.

ANALYSIS
Each year, the City of Glendale receives approximately $3,105,000 in formula entitlement funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer community development, housing, and homeless programs in the community. The City is tasked with developing an annual action plan for the use of these funds, consistent with a five-year strategic plan (Consolidated Plan) on file with HUD, based on a comprehensive community needs assessment. The most prominent program in the plan development process, with a proposed annual allocation of $1,700,000, is the CDBG program. This program has the greatest level of community participation, local discretion, and demand for service. Therefore, this report is focused on program planning for the FY 2026-2027 CDBG program.

The City has received CDBG funds since the inception of the program in 1974. The Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program was added in 1987, and the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) program was added in 1992.

The national and local objectives of the CDBG program are to: 1) eliminate conditions of slums and blight; 2) provide programs and services that benefit low- and moderate- income persons, including the homeless; and 3) meet an urgent need.

The primary objectives of the ESG program are to: 1) engage homeless individuals and families living on the street; 2) rapidly re-house homeless individuals and families; 3) help operate and provide essential services in emergency shelters for homeless individuals and families; and 4) prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless.

The objective of the HOME program is to provide and preserve affordable housing for low-income households.

To receive CDBG, ESG, and HOME entitlement funds, the City is required to develop a Five-Year Consolidated Plan (a long-term, community-based strategic plan). The current Five-Year (2025-30) Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) was approved by the City Council in June 2025 and was since approved by HUD.

The ConPlan provides a profile of the City and outlines the City’s long-term strategy for addressing identified local community development, homelessness, housing and economic development needs and priorities; funding strategies; and proposed outcomes based on a comprehensive community needs assessment with extensive community input and data analysis. FY 2026-2027 program planning is incorporated as Year Two of the Annual Action Plan.

CDBG Advisory Committee:

In developing the Annual Action Plan and the ConPlan, HUD requires that the City involve citizens in the plan development and approval process. As a result, the City Council appoints a citizen CDBG Advisory Committee, the responsibility of which is to help oversee the CDBG planning process. The Committee’s current responsibilities include:
Reviewing and commenting on the annual community needs assessment strategy; Recommending program priorities, based on findings from the needs assessment, as well as input from the City Council;
Reviewing sub-recipient performance, such as site visits and outcome reviews; Evaluating funding proposals;
Interviewing community agencies and City departments that submit project proposals;
Recommending projects for funding;
Reviewing and approving revisions or amendments to projects throughout the program year; and
Reviewing and recommending reprogramming of CDBG funds.

The current CDBG Advisory Committee is comprised of the following members:
Armik Avedisian
Lea Awni
Anita Quiñonez-Gabrielian
Ronnie Gharibian (Chair)
Marina Manoukian (Vice Chair)
Community Needs Assessment:

The ConPlan is the main planning document that HUD uses to measure the City’s effectiveness and to approve the submission of Annual Action Plans and other funding applications to HUD. The ConPlan must be broad-based, examining statistical and analytical information, and community-based, relying on direct input from the community (especially residents in low- and moderate-income HUD eligible census tracts) to identify needs and priorities and long-term strategies to meet those needs.

In the Fall of 2024, staff conducted an extensive Community Needs Assessment, through outreach, data analysis, and preparation of a Community Needs Survey to determine program priorities. The results of this data were part of the 2025-2030 Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) and are being considered for FY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan.

FY 2026-2027 program planning included an in-person community meeting, email and telephone option. The community meeting was held on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at the Adult Recreation Center, offering wide-reaching marketing strategies, including free onsite childcare. Outreach efforts included the City newsletters, social media posts, requesting GUSD to distribute through PeachJar to all schools, City/department website, email distribution list, Glendale Community College, and emails to local nonprofit organizations. Despite these efforts, residents did not attend the in-person meeting and instead chose to provide direct input via email. A total of six emails were submitted. 12 of 77

Key demographic indicators were updated from multiple sources and reviewed. Typically, an analysis using the U.S. Census American Community Survey (ACS) would be conducted; however, due to the government shutdown, the ACS website has not yet been updated with 2024 data. As a result, the Key Demographic Indicators are based on the 2023 ACS 1-year estimates. Staff evaluated the results of community input alongside these data estimates, compared them with current program priorities, and established program priorities for FY 2026-2027.

Program Priorities:

Based on the CDBG Advisory Committee’s evaluation of community input, the needs and priorities identified by residents—and supported by census data—were found to align with the City’s current program priorities. Accordingly, the CDBG Advisory Committee recommends that the program priorities be approved by the City Council and published in the upcoming RFP. The proposed FY 2026-2027 program priorities, listed in alphabetical order, are presented in Exhibit 1 for the City Council’s consideration and approval.

Hud Eligible Target Areas:

Generally, capital and neighborhood improvement projects and social services that serve an area benefit must be in HUD eligible, low-income areas and neighborhoods with physical conditions of slums and blight. Therefore, in addition to surveys and a community meeting, another aspect of the Community Needs Assessment is a demographic analysis of the City to ascertain which area of the City has the highest concentration of low-income households and the physical conditions that would be eligible for CDBG funds.

Based on 2023, one-year estimates of ACS, the percentage of persons below the poverty level in Glendale is 13.4%, with certain census tracts containing more than one-third of the population under the poverty level. Specifically, low-income families are concentrated in certain south Glendale and west Glendale census tracts that would be considered HUD-eligible target areas for public improvements, parks, and community centers. Target areas include residential zones, schools, and commercial areas. (See Exhibit 2) Funding Allocation Plan:

Each year the CDBG Advisory Committee recommends a Proposed CDBG Funding Allocation Plan (based upon the City’s best estimate of federal funding levels and available reprogrammed funds) to the City Council, which establishes parameters for funds available to community agencies in the different funding categories under the RFP process. Staff estimates that the FY 2026-2027 HUD CDBG entitlement will be $1,700,000.

The Advisory Committee reviewed the FY 2026-2027 Proposed CDBG Funding Allocation Plan by Funding Category presented in Exhibit 3 on October 27, 2025, and has recommended it to City Council for approval. A summary of the FY 2026-2027 Proposed Funding Allocation Plan as recommended by the CDBG Advisory Committee is as follows:

Program Administration$340,000
Public Social Service Programs$255,000
Capital Improvement Projects$1,105,000
Community Organizations CIP $1,105,000
Pre-designated City CIP Projects $0
Total $1,700,000
The CDBG Advisory Committee and/or City Council can revise the capital improvement funding allocations after receiving and evaluating capital improvement project proposals from the community.

Program Administration:

HUD allows jurisdictions to use 20% of their CDBG entitlement funds for administration of the CDBG program to ensure that they have the capacity to comply with the HUD requirements and minimize financial risks, especially as they relate to working with non- profit agencies. The core functions of CDBG administration are planning (including program planning and procurement); monitoring; contract compliance; financial management; and project coordination. Based on the federal government’s emphasis on accountability and transparency, HUD is becoming stricter in requiring more low-income documentation from the City’s sub-recipients to show eligibility for CDBG funds. This translates to greater financial risk and need for management and oversight. The proposal includes allocation of $340,000 in FY 2026-2027 for planning, program management and oversight of the CDBG and ESG programs, in addition to coordination of HUD compliance with the Community Development Department-Housing Division.

Public Social Services:

HUD limits the amount of funds that can be spent on social services to 15% of the entitlement amount. CDBG funds are eligible to be used for social services provided they are used for a new or expanded level of service at the time an agency first applies for the funds. Services must be shown to benefit primarily low- and moderate-income families.

To meet this requirement, agencies are required to collect back-up income documentation on 10% of the persons served, as a sampling of income eligibility. The proposal includes allocation of $255,000 in FY 2026-2027 for social services to community agencies via an RFP process. This represents approximately the same amount of funding as in the current year.

Capital/Neighborhood Improvement Projects:

Generally, capital improvement funds represent 65% of entitlement funds, plus any available reprogrammed funds—which can only be used for capital projects. This funding category applies to community centers, such as parks, libraries, recreation centers, senior centers, youth centers, employment centers, health centers, and social service centers; handicapped accessibility projects anywhere in the City; and public improvements in low- 14 of 77

26 25-89088

income neighborhoods, such as streets, alleys, curbs, sidewalks, parkways, lighting and traffic calming and economic development projects. Community parks, health centers, and libraries must be located in low-income census tracts and/or must demonstrate that they serve primarily low- and moderate-income persons.

Historically, the City Council has expressed a preference for City Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) to receive funding separately from the competitive RFP process. However, the proposed CDBG Funding Allocation Plan by Funding Category for FY 2026-2027 does not identify any City CIP project as a pre-designated recipient of funding outside the competitive RFP process. Staff will return at a later date with a separate request for funding for a pre-designated City CIP project.

The proposal includes allocation of $1,105,000 in FY 2026-2027 for capital improvement projects to community agencies.

Total capital improvement funds available: $1,105,000
Total (undesignated) funds for community CIP projects: $1,105,000 Total pre-designated funds for City CIP project(s): $0

Request For Proposal (RFP) Process:

Subject to approval of the program priorities and a CDBG Funding Allocation Plan by Funding Category, staff recommends that the City Council and Housing Authority authorize the issuance of an RFP for both social service programs and CIP projects. (See Exhibit 4)
Any non-profit agency that meets the pre-qualification requirements is eligible to apply for and receive CDBG funds, provided that the project meets one of the three broad national objectives of: 1) serving low-income persons; 2) preventing or eliminating conditions of slums and blight; and 3) meeting an urgent need. In addition, funded projects are required to primarily serve Glendale residents and not to discriminate in the provision of services.

Further, projects that meet the established program priorities are given preference for funding.

Staff recommends that proposals for social service funds ($255,000) be solicited from community agencies and City departments under a competitive RFP process, and that proposals for undesignated CIP funds ($1,105,000) be solicited to community agencies only.

ZoomGrants Online Grant Management System:

ZoomGrants online grant application system will continue to be used to submit grant proposals in FY 2026-2027. The RFP packet, which is included as Exhibit 4, has been generated through the ZoomGrants online system.

Subject to City Council and Housing Authority approval, the RFP for the CDBG program is scheduled to be released on November 19, 2025, with the due date of January 9, 2026.

A mandatory Technical Assistance Meeting will be held on December 8, 2025, for all agencies applying for CDBG social service and CIP funds.

Proposal Evaluation Process:

Historically, under the open, competitive RFP process, the City receives an estimated 15 funding proposals. Of the 15 proposals received, typically 12 are for social services and three are for community CIP projects. Once proposals are received, a staff analysis will be prepared in January 2026 to indicate strengths and weaknesses or discrepancies relative to the requirements of the RFP and the evaluation criteria, including financial data and budget worksheets. The analysis is then sent to each agency, which has one week to submit a response to each weakness. The responses are then attached to the proposals. The proposals, staff analyses, and agency responses are forwarded to the CDBG Advisory Committee members for review. In February/March 2026, the Committee, in one full-day and one half-day session, will interview each community agency requesting funds, deliberate and develop funding recommendations. The funding recommendations are published in the newspaper, a public hearing is held, and then in May 2026, the recommendations will be submitted to the City Council and Housing Authority for final approval.

ESG Program:

The FY 2026-2027 ESG Program (estimated at $155,000) follows the same process as CDBG, in terms of identification of homeless priorities, except that the ESG funding plan is a two-year plan, and the funding recommendations are approved by the Continuum of Care (CoC) Board of Directors. FY 2026-2027 will be a two-year funding plan (FY 2025- 2027). Programs approved during the initial round of funding (FY 2025-2026) that meet outcomes and performance goals may be recommended for renewal for FY 2026-2027, rather than pursuant to another RFP process.

The current CoC Board is comprised of the following members:

Board Member Agency

1. Chief Jeffrey Brooks (Chair) - Glendale Fire Dept.

2. Capt. Alex Krikorian - Glendale Police Dept.

3. Melissa Younesian (Vice Chair) - Verdugo Jobs Center

4. Hagop Eulmessekian - Glendale Unified School District

5. Vacant - Lived Expertise
HOME Program:

The HOME program funding plan will be determined by the Housing Authority as part of the Housing Authority’s review and approval of the annual affordable housing strategy, with consideration given to input received during the CDBG, ESG and HOME community needs assessment, which includes a HUD-required discussion of housing needs. An estimated $1,250,000 in HOME funds will be available for the City in FY 2026-2027. 16 of 77

It is important to note that the proposed funding allocation plan is preliminary. The entitlement allocation is based on the City’s best estimate of the previous year’s funding.

Congress has not approved a federal budget for HUD and the government is shutdown at the time this report was written; therefore, the City will not be notified of its final entitlement until Spring 2026.

Summary:

When HUD issues final allocations for the CDBG, ESG, and HOME programs for 2026, staff will return to City Council and Housing Authority with a final Annual Action Plan report that includes the final entitlement amounts, which will be part of the 2026-2027 budget process.

The City’s projected funding for the FY 2026-2027 CDBG, ESG and HOME Annual Action Plan is as follows:

FY 2025-2026 FY 2026-2027 Inc./Dec
CDBG Entitlement: $1,738,811 $1,700,000 - 2.283%
ESG Entitlement: $152,328 $155,000 +1.754%
HOME Entitlement: $1,245,430.65 $1,250,000 + 0.3667% TOTAL: $3,136,569.65 $3,105,000 - 1.01%

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
As part of the development of the FY 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan, multiple platforms and methods were used to assess community need and gather community input to determine program priorities for the upcoming year which included an in-person community meeting held at the Adult Recreation Center on October 1, 2025, email and telephone call-in option from September 29, 2025, through October 3, 2025.

The community meeting was advertised through the City/department website, City Connection, CSP newsletter, email distribution list, Glendale Unified School District, Glendale Community College, non-profit email distribution list, and social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, X, and Nextdoor).

Six emails were received and provided by residents.

Staff determined program priorities for FY 2026-2027 using data estimates and community input provided for the 2025-2030 ConPlan. The Key Demographic Indicators and Public Hearing Comments are included as part of Exhibit 6.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report at this time. When HUD issues the final allocations for the CDBG, ESG, and HOME programs, staff will return to the City Council and Housing Authority with a final Annual Action Plan report that includes the 17 of 77

VI CDBG PROGRAM GUIDELINES
E ligibility criteria and requirements for documentation of eligibility for program activities are described below. Each organization receiving CDBG Public Social Service funds must spend all of the grant amounts it was allocated by June 30, 2027.

PU BLIC SOCIAL SERVICES
A. E ligibility Criteria
I
n order to be eligible as a public social service, the following criteria must be met: 1) at least 60% of those persons benefiting from the service must be low- and moderate-income; 2) at least 60% of those persons benefiting from the service must be Glendale residents; and 3) for new programs, the activity must be a new service or a quantifiable increase in the level of an existing service. Public social services are direct services provided to community residents such as, but not limited to: employment, case management, crime prevention, child care, health, education, recreation, and counseling. CDBG funds are intended to be used to fund services or levels of service that are not currently provided by existing public agencies, organizations and/or City Departments with other funding sources.

B. R equirements for Documentation of Eligibility
A
pplicants approved for funding in the Public Social Services category must document that at least 60% of persons served are low- and moderate-income persons, and that at least 60% of persons served are Glendale residents. Acceptable forms of documentation are:

1. A
pplicant information or registration forms ( Exhibit H) which includes name, address, income, source of income, household type, ethnicity, racial background, and signature of participant and a

Location of an activity in a low-income area does not conclusively demonstrate that an activity benefits low- and m
oderate-income persons or Glendale residents. Hence, where applicable, records of addresses 36 of 77

Public Statement: YWCA Funding
My name is Erin Nakamura. I live and work in Glendale, CA, and am writing to express my interest in prioritizing programming that serves the mental wellness of our community. I encourage Glendale leaders to prioritize the YWCA, and their counseling and support groups for survivors of domestic violence and their families -- these services are offered in English, Spanish, and Armenian.

Experiencing abuse is painful and isolating, which makes specialized mental health services in one's native language crucial for Glendalians- always, but especially in emergency situations. The YWCA provides cultural and linguistically relevant clinical services and are trusted members of our Glendale community. Funding these services is a huge step in ensuring a healthier Glendale.

I'm emailing you today to ensure that this program receives consideration and funding to ensure they are able to continue to meet the needs of some of our most vulnerable community members.

Thank you for your consideration,

Hello,
My name is Mariam Agazaryan and I live and work in Glendale, CA. I’m writing to urge you to prioritize programming that supports the mental wellness of our community.

In particular, I encourage Glendale leaders to support the YWCA and their counseling and support groups for survivors of domestic violence and their families. These services—offered in English, Spanish, and Armenian—are a lifeline for so many. These services provided will be even more essential with the

impending economic recession. Studies have shown that economic instability and recessions increase domestic violence. Please don’t let our community suffer in silence. This is not just a women’s issue. THIS IS AN EVERYONE ISSUE! Do the right thing and continue supporting and funding the YWCA and the work that they do for this community.

I hope you will give this program the consideration and support it needs to continue serving some of our most vulnerable neighbors.

Thank you for your time and leadership.

Best,
Mariam Agazaryan, MBA

-Nibley Park has a stretch of elevated walkway adjacent to its tennis courts that has a low border of jagged/broken rocks instead of a solid retaining wall and railing to prevent falls--not safe for small kids.

STILL NOT ADDRESSED. -Nibley Park's entry gate was stuck/not functional as of last week. -The stretch of sidewalk and unmaintained greenery on Verdugo Road between Glenoaks Blvd and the Golden Farms Market Plaza is regularly covered in feces, garbage, discarded furniture, and more. I SEE

CLEANUP HAPPENS EVERY ONE IN A WHILE, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND SIGNS PUT UP REMINDING PEOPLE OF FINES FOR DUMPING THEIR TRASH. -Both intersections of Glenoaks Blvd and Verdugo Circle Drive desperately needs an illuminated crosswalk.

Wilson Middle School students and neighborhood residents (many elderly and/or with small kids) are regularly jaywalking here and risking their lives. STILL NOT ADDRESSED. STILL DANGEROUS! Thank you!
