Joint Meeting: Glendale City Council and Glendale Housing Authority - 6/9/26

The joint meeting of the Glendale City Council and Glendale Housing Authority on June 9, 2026, focused primarily on the approval and allocation of federal grant funds for community development and housing programs. The council approved the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnership programs, totaling approximately $3.21 million. Funding was allocated to various community agencies for public social services and capital improvement projects, including a significant $650,000 grant to the Kids Community Clinic of Burbank for dental facility improvements serving Glendale residents. Additionally, the council approved reprogramming nearly $58,000 in unspent CDBG funds toward the Elk Mini Park playground replacement project to ensure timely expenditure and project completion. Public comments highlighted concerns about accessibility and the use of federal versus other funding sources. The meeting concluded with motions passed to authorize the city manager to execute related actions and redirect unused funds under $50,000 with committee approval.
