Joint Meeting: Glendale City Council and Glendale Housing Authority - 6/23/26

The joint meeting of the Glendale City Council and Glendale Housing Authority on June 23, 2026, focused primarily on housing and community development issues related to the substantial amendment of the HOME ARP allocation plan. The amendment prioritizes senior Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) households for 11 HOME ARP-assisted units at Parkview Glendale, with a lease term of 15 years at 30% of income. Public comments highlighted concerns about the limited number of units, the expiration of EHV funding, and the need for additional rental assistance programs. Council members discussed the qualification criteria for the units, the status of federal and local funding including Measure A funds, and the challenges faced by EHV recipients. The council and housing authority unanimously approved the amendment and the fiscal year 2026-2027 housing authority budget, which includes allocations for administration and planning outside redevelopment project areas. The meeting underscored ongoing efforts to address housing instability amid funding uncertainties and community needs.
