# Glendale Housing Authority - 10/20/26

The Glendale Housing Authority meeting on October 20, 2026, received an update on the Burbank–Glendale–Pasadena Regional Housing Trust. The trust manager reported approximately $7.5 million available for Glendale, a $5 million city contribution matched by a $5 million state award for future project funding, and an almost $4 million CalHome award intended to support 18 first-time-homebuyer down-payment assistance loans of $200,000 each across the three cities. Funding has supported Pasadena housing projects, with additional trust funding committed to another project. CalHome funds will be administered through the grant award, with quarterly and annual reporting to the state and updates to the trust board. No project award or funding motion was taken at this meeting. Staff said the city is preparing an RFP for a citywide grant-writing firm; the housing trust’s consultant had applied for the trust’s two grants.

During oral communication, a speaker urged the authority to improve the accuracy and usefulness of rental-program data collection and consider self-service technology. A member also requested future discussion of shower dimensions and bathtub accessibility standards in affordable housing projects. The meeting then transitioned to City Council business, where a motion passed directing staff to develop a report on domestic-violence response and prevention, including community-provider data and short- and long-term actions. No other procurement action was identified.
