                                                  As a recipient of Community Development Block Grant
                                                  (CDBG) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds, the
                                                  City of Glendale is required to submit an Annual Action
                                                  Plan (AAP) under Federal Regulations at 24 CFR Part 91.
                                                  The purpose of the Year 2 Annual Action Plan is to review
                                                  and update the assessments presented in the City of
                                                  Glendale’s Five‐Year Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years (FY)
                                                  2020‐2024. In addition, the AAP identifies the City’s
                                                  housing and community development needs; analyzes the

                                                  development priorities, and identifies the resources
                                                  available from Community Development Block Grant
                                                  (CDBG) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) entitlement
                                                  grants, as well as the HOME Investment Partnership
                                                  Program (HOME) allocations provided through the
                                                  Maricopa HOME Consortium.

                                                  This Program Year 2 AAP implements the second year of
                                                  activities that will address goals established by the City of
                                                  Glendale’s FY 2020‐2024 Consolidated Plan.

                                                  The CDBG entitlement for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021‐22 is
                                                  $2,423,635 and the ESG entitlement for FY 2021‐22 is
                                                  $211,275. The City is a participant in the Maricopa HOME
                                                  Consortium (Consortium) and will receive $686,496 in
                                                  HOME funds from Maricopa County in FY 2021‐22.

                                                  2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in
                                                  the Plan Needs Assessment Overview

                                                    Identified below are the goals and outcomes that
                                                    the City of Glendale has identified as the basis for its
strategies and related activities to be carried out under the 2020‐24 Consolidated Plan and subsequent
Annual Action Plans. Actual activities may vary each Plan year and will be based on priorities established
during the Consolidated Plan process and the amount of the City’s annual allocation. While goals and
outcomes are identified in the Consolidated Plan with estimated funding, actual funding for activities will
be based on the Annual Action Plan Goals and Objectives and final entitlement allocations from HUD.
FY 2021 22 CITY OF GLENDALE HUD ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
The City’s 2020‐24 Five Year Consolidated Plan goals are:
           Promote Access to Decent Affordable Housing
           Glendale will work to promote access to affordable quality housing throughout the City through a
  GOAL 1

           variety of activities that may include construction, rehabilitation and replacement of owner and
           renter housing, homeownership assistance, or rental assistance that helps low‐ and moderate‐
           income families obtain and/or maintain decent, safe, and affordable housing.

           Increase Access to Homeless Services/Housing
           Through its ongoing Strategic Planning process and work with the Maricopa Regional Continuum
  GOAL 2

           of Care, the City will identify ways to partner with government, nonprofit and private sector
           organizations to offer additional emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent and
           supportive housing, and necessary supportive services to mitigate crisis situations and promote
           self‐sufficiency to homeless people and those at risk of homelessness.

           Increase Access to Public Services for Vulnerable Populations
           Through our funding of nonprofit agencies, the City will provide additional services to support
  GOAL 3

           low‐ and moderate‐income people, particularly food assistance and senior and youth
           services. Other vulnerable groups may include those with disabilities, victims of
           domestic abuse, children in or aged out of foster care, those suffering from addiction or mental
           health diseases and possibly others.

           Provide Educational Programs and Business Assistance
           Through our funding of programs with government and nonprofit providers or collaborative
           partnerships, the City will provide additional services to support low‐and‐moderate income youth
  GOAL 4

           and adults with educational programs. Programs can include those that supplement youth
           learning and skills development, job training and skills development for adults, specific
           employment training, financial self‐sufficiency training, and direct financial assistance to
           businesses.

           Enhance Livability of Neighborhoods
           Several areas within the City have significant aging infrastructure needs, particularly related to
  GOAL 5

           ADA compliance and water systems. Neighborhood enhancements, such as parks, streetscape
           beautification, demolition of unsafe and blighted structures, and exterior commercial
           rehabilitation would also be considered under this category. The City will pursue these strategies
           to enhance livability of neighborhoods in eligible areas or on a spot basis.

           Affirmatively Further Fair Housing Regulations
           Per 42 U.S.C. §§ 3601‐19, the Fair Housing Act, all Federal programs relating to housing and
  GOAL 6

           urban development be administered in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing.
3. Evaluation of past performance

As a recipient of CDBG funds, the City is required to submit at the end of each program year a Consolidated
Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The CAPER summarizes the accomplishments of
the prior program year and the progress made towards the goals established in the Consolidated Plan. Note
that the 2019‐20 CAPER activities were funded under the City’s 2015‐19 Consolidated Plan and were
developed to advance the goals in that Consolidated Plan.

The CAPER for FY 2019‐ 20 was reviewed to assist with the formulation of goals and objectives as stated in
this Plan, as well as to evaluate past performance. Combined, the City expended $2,036,642.20 in CDBG,
HOME, and ESG funds in FY2019‐20.

The City addressed the Decent/Affordable Housing and Homeless objective by funding homeowner housing
rehabilitation activities, homeless assistance, homebuyer assistance, and acquisition and rehabilitation of
housing for resale.

The City addressed the Suitable Living Environment objective by funding home modifications for persons
with disabilities, public facility renovations, infrastructure improvements, and public services that
assisted seniors, youth, homeless persons, and affirmatively furthered fair housing. In addition, the City
addressed the Expanded Economic Opportunities goal by providing funding for façade treatment/business
building rehabilitation and job creation.

Programs and funding allocations are considered and approved based on extensive public participation,
input from Glendale's non‐profit partners, City Council goals, discussions with the City’s Community
Development Advisory Committee (CDAC), community resident and business input, and supporting data
that identifies urgent community needs. Glendale has transitioned to the outcome‐based Federal model.
Glendale also has its own internal strategic objectives that are outcome‐based and are used extensively
throughout the organization. In FY 2019‐20, and with the exception of the 1.5 expenditure ratio, the City
met all of its statutory requirements, including the HOME commitment dates. The City is committed to
monitoring outcomes compared to intended objectives and evaluating their effectiveness in addressing
community needs and reprogramming funding that is not being efficiently used, if needed.

4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process

Glendale residents, especially those who are low‐income or likely to be beneficiaries of federal CDBG,
HOME, and ESG funding, are encouraged to participate in the development of the Five‐Year Consolidated
Plan, Annual Action Plans, Plan Amendments and the CAPER. Per 24 CFR Part 91.105, citizen participation
requirements guide the development of the AAP process.

The Annual Action Plan development process is consistent with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan shared
by each of the members of the Maricopa HOME Consortium. Components of this Plan include:

       Hold a minimum of two (2) public hearings related to the development of the Annual Action Plan
        with one (1) public hearing conducted during the development of a draft Annual Action Plan and
        one (1) public hearing conducted after a draft Annual Action Plan is available to the public, and
        within the required 30‐day comment period;
       Incorporation of the following information into public hearings: 1. the total amount of CDBG,
HOME and ESG funding available during the upcoming program year, and the possible activities
        that may receive allocations; 2. the anticipated amount of funding that will benefit low and
        moderate income community members, and other applicable elements of the Plan;
       Distribution of the draft Annual Action Plan to libraries, local housing authorities, and other
        locations (as appropriate) to make the Plan available to a wide public audience
       Posting the draft Plan on the City’s website during the 30‐day comment period
       Notification of the availability of the draft Plan in a newspaper of general local circulation;
       Provide accommodations to persons with disabilities, including the hearing impaired, and
        persons with limited English proficiency.
       Hold public hearings in the evenings and at times that would be convenient for working
        families, including households with children.

7. Summary

As one of Arizona’s fastest growing cities, Glendale has the opportunity to expand housing and economic
opportunities for its citizens. With significant growth comes challenges for affordable housing, especially
with the robust growth of its single‐family market. Because of this continued growth, current upward price
trends in the housing market ensure that affordable housing will remain an issue for the foreseeable
future.

Glendale is working to provide more affordable housing through HOME funding of Habitat for Humanity,
Tenant Based Rental Assistance, First‐time Homebuyer Assistance, and through rehabilitation assistance to
support low‐ and moderate‐income citizens, with particular consideration given to keeping seniors and
people with disabilities in their homes. Mortgage/rental/utility assistance is also a priority for helping
citizens maintain their housing and prevent homelessness.

The City will also identify neighborhood enhancements such as infrastructure improvements within low‐
mod income areas, such as water system and ADA improvements to parks serving low‐ and moderate‐
income households. Streetscape beautification, demolition of unsafe structures and commercial
rehabilitation are among other possible activities to enhance neighborhoods. The City will consider
other infrastructure and public facility improvements, such as libraries, youth centers, and recreation
centers as possible neighborhood enhancements, though these amenities are not as high a priority.

Glendale will fund public services for low‐ and moderate‐income families through the funding
of several governmental and nonprofit agencies whose efforts and expertise are critical to maximizing the
impact of CDBG and ESG funds. Additionally, CARES Act funding will be utilized to meet the needs of
citizens most impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic.

Through its work with the Continuum of Care and an ongoing Strategic Planning Process, the City will work
to prevent and reduce homelessness and provide needed housing and supportive services to vulnerable
citizens.

Glendale has succeeded as a community by working in partnership with other agencies throughout the
West Valley and in Maricopa County by building on each organization’s respective strengths. By tapping
into the human assets of its community, Glendale can work to ensure that all citizens have an opportunity
to be independent, productive members of the community who live stable and productive lives.

AP‐10 Consultation ‐ 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1.      Introduction

In its operation of the federal block grant programs, the City works with local and statewide governmental
agencies and non‐profit organizations, as well as other City departments, to ensure funds are allocated
equitably and related services are provided to the City of Glendale residents.

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(l)).

The City consulted with public and private agencies, the state, and the public housing authority for
preparation of the Year 2 Annual Action Plan.

The City provides funding for several social service providers that are based in Glendale, AZ to provide
services to the residents of Glendale. These agencies include Back to School Clothing Drive, Community
Legal Services and Arizona YWCA of Metro Phoenix. The City’s Community Housing Division is responsible
for addressing the rental housing needs of low and very low‐income Glendale households that cannot
afford housing in the private market through the administration of the federally funded Housing Choice
Voucher program. The City provides CDBG public services funding to support seniors, disabled, youth and
adults, education, homeless prevention, food banks and other social services. The City consulted with its
housing authority, which is a City Divisional Unit, by including staff representatives in the public meetings
and conducting interviews with housing authority management.

In addition, the City consulted with staff from related City departments, specifically the City’s Community
Action Program (CAP) that assists low‐to‐moderate income residents experiencing financial hardships or
crisis. CAP provides various types of assistance to prevent homelessness, such as case management,
information and referral to local social service agencies. CAP provides direct financial assistance for eligible
households.

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 City of Glendale is a participant in the Maricopa Regional Continuum of Care (COC) and is a member of
the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG). The City provides support to the COC and several non‐
profit partners that provide services to alleviate homelessness, including, but not limited to shelter
assistance, transportation, street outreach and housing navigation, rental subsidies, employment, food and
others.

The City of Glendale participates with MAG’s regional Point‐In‐Time Homeless Street and Shelter Count and
provides data to HUD for the Housing Inventory Count Report. The City utilizes this data to develop
strategies to address homelessness.

The City participates with MAG’s Continuum of Care Regional Committee on Homelessness, which is
responsible for developing the Regional Plan to End Homeless and prepares the COC application for funding
to support homeless assistance programs.

The City also participates in the ESG Funders Group. This ESG collaboration group is a team of ESG grantees
that meet once a month to coordinate best practices and consistent procedures related to the ESG
program performance standards and efforts to end homelessness.
The City also has the Homeless Executive Taskforce. This is an internal initiative between City Departments.
Together they discuss the issues facing homelessness and collaborate on solutions to end homelessness.

In January of 2019, the City of Glendale adopted a Homeless Strategy that will align existing resources with
new opportunities to reduce homelessness in Glendale. This process is a focused strategy which is
progressive and holistic: research, education, coordination, outreach, and performance management.
The results of the new process will provide the City with four distinct strategies:

       Coordinated and responsive homeless engagement;
       Effective implementation of housing stabilization programs;
       Efficient and effective utilization and distribution of current resources/funding;
       Reduction in Glendale residents experiencing or at‐risk of experiencing homelessness.

The Homeless Strategic Action Plan is a framework which allows it to grow and evolve as the City and data
analysis deems necessary and prudent. The updated homeless action plan expands the foundation
established in the original plan, allowing and encouraging the City to improve the focused, strength‐based
approach which will continue to address and assist the homeless population in our community. With the
additional funding resource provide through the CARES Act and COVID‐19 Pandemic funding, the City of
Glendale will, in a coordinated effort fund a master services agreement with a partnering agency to meet
this Homeless Strategy.

In addition, the West Valley Municipal Human Services Collaborative, which the City of Glendale created in
2018, continues to grow and connect cities in the west valley to maximize limited resources and work
together to address the homeless population, which cross jurisdictional boundaries.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction’s area in determining
how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and
activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and
administration of HMIS

The City receives ESG funds and consults with Continuum of Care (CoC) as part of the process to prioritize
the needs to address homelessness, the allocation of ESG funding, and performance standards. To ensure
the participation of the homeless population in the planning process, the City of Glendale engages in
regional activities and dialogue with the State of Arizona and the CoC Committee on Homelessness. An
example of a successful regional collaborative effort is the region’s Annual Homeless Count. The City’s
collaboration is intended to use the most current and accurate information available to design and
implement necessary housing and social service assistance to bring homeless persons back into our
workforce, schools, faith‐based institutions, and other community institutions as well as facilitate them
becoming stable. The City consulted with the CoC to discuss the best method to allocate funding to non‐
profit agencies. As the program progresses, performance standards will be developed based on the needs
of the community and regulatory guidance. All outcomes will be reviewed and measured for effectiveness,
as required.

Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal‐setting

In order to ensure broader participation, residents were given multiple opportunities to comment on the
plan during the plan development and the completed plan was available for a 30‐day comment period.

Efforts were made to provide accommodations and give opportunities to persons with disabilities and
persons with Limited English Proficiency to provide input and public comments. Some provisions were
made to provide auxiliary aids to persons with disabilities, the notices and Plan documents could be
provided in alternative formats and public notices were available to non‐English speaking individuals.

Meetings were held at a time of day that would facilitate the participation of members of the public who
work and information and notices were provided through the City’s website for persons not wishing or able
to attend meetings.

Introduction
The City of Glendale receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Emergency Solutions Grant
(ESG) funding directly from HUD as a participating entitlement jurisdiction. As a result of the COVID‐19
pandemic, the City also received CDBG‐CV and ESG‐CV funding that will continue to be expended in FY
2021‐22 towards the activities established in the FY 2020‐2024 Consolidate Plan and FY 2020 ‐ 21 AAP.

In addition, the City also receives HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds from Maricopa
County as a member of the Maricopa HOME Consortium. The city of Glendale has been allocated $686,496*
of HOME funds through the Maricopa HOME Consortium for FY 2021‐22.

The first‐year funding for the Five‐Year Consolidated Plan was confirmed by HUD and used as a basis to
estimate the available federal resources for the five‐year period by multiplying the first‐year allocation by
five. In subsequent years, the actual annual allocation for each year may vary depending on appropriations
for Community Planning and Development programs. Goals, objectives and activities have been adjusted
in the Year Two AAP to accommodate anticipated funding amounts. The City also factors in an estimate of
program income that is to be received each year.

HOME Consortium Allocations*
*Allocations include funding allocated for projects and activities as well as administration. Additional detail
on HOME fund allocations within the HOME Consortium is located in section AP‐35 Projects section of this
plan. The HOME Program administrative cap is 10% of the total annual HOME allocation. As reimbursement
for its administrative duties as lead agency of the Consortium, Maricopa County will receive administrative
funds from other Consortium Members in the amount of five percent (5%) of each member’s pro rata share
of HOME Program grant allocations for each year. This percentage will be calculated on the Consortium’s
annual HOME Program allocation. The City will receive the following allocations for FY 2021‐22: CDBG ‐
$2,423,635; ESG ‐ $211,275; HOME ‐ $686,496

Table 5 ‐ Expected Resources – Priority Table

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including
a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied.

Part of Glendale’s strategy includes providing funding to local nonprofits who in turn leverage outside funding
sources to serve Glendale’s citizens. Additionally, the City and its sub‐recipients provide matching HOME and
ESG funding, including $451,042 in FY2020‐21. Leverage, in the context of the CDBG and HOME, means
bringing other local, state, and federal financial resources to maximize the reach and impact of the City’s HUD
programs. HUD, like many other federal agencies, encourages the recipients of federal monies to demonstrate
that efforts are being made to strategically leverage additional funds in order to achieve greater results.

Leverage is also a way to increase project efficiencies and benefit from economies of scale that often come
with combining sources of funding for similar or expanded scopes. Funds will be leveraged if financial
commitments toward the costs of a project from a source other than the originating HUD program are
documented.

During FY 2021‐ 22, the City of Glendale will allocate HOME funds from the Maricopa HOME Consortium to
create a First‐Time Homebuyer Program. The City will obtain a subrecipient to develop and administer the
program that will assist approximately fifteen (15) households with direct financial assistance for
downpayments, closing costs, and principal reduction to purchase a home in the City.

The 25% required HOME match will be provided through donated time, services, and dollars from Habitat for
Humanity. The planning and administrative costs of managing the federal grant programs, such as some staff
costs, are also funded from the City’s general fund dollars.

The City will employ ESG funds for the City’s homeless prevention activities and to fund shelter operational
costs for homeless service activities. The 100% required ESG match is provided by subrecipients from eligible
ESG sources.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used
to address the needs identified in the plan

Discussion

The City does not have access to surplus land for the purposes of building affordable housing. Any
acquisition would happen through the actions of a non‐profit organization.

The City is devoted to addressing the affordable housing crisis. In partnership with the Caesar Chávez
Foundation, 80 affordable housing units will be made available to Glendale residents. The project is
scheduled to be completed and ready for occupancy this by the end of 2023.

Glendale will utilize the $2,423,635 in CDBG funding and approximately $20,000 in CDBG Program Income
toward projects in FY 2021‐22. Additionally, the City will utilize $211,275 in ESG funding for projects in FY
2021‐22.

In FY 2020‐ 21, the City received $1,457,342 of CDBG‐CV funding, $749,455 in ESG‐CV and $2,997,188 of
ESG‐CV 2 funding. The infusion of COVID‐19 related funding was previously awarded to subrecipient and
will continue to be expended in FY 2021‐22 on programs that are designed to eliminate the burdens caused
by the world‐wide pandemic.

Introduction

The following section provides the list of approved projects/activities for the use of entitlement grant funds
under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) HOME
Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) and for FY 2021‐2022.

                                                   Total FY 2021‐22 Allocations:                $3,321,406

The following activities are funded under the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) through the
Maricopa HOME Consortium for FY 2021‐2022, and appear as projects in the Maricopa Home Consortium’s
Annual Action Plan for FY 2021‐2022 (A total of $686,496 in HOME funds will be received in FY 2021‐2022):

       HOME Buyer Assistance (24 CFR 92.205) – Provide funding for first‐time home buyers purchasing
        improved or unimproved real property, associated with the acquisition of single‐family housing for
current activity levels and the needs of their constituent population. The efficient use of previous year's
resources and the field observations garnered by providers helped to determine levels of needs. The
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data and other studies and planning documents were
also used to guide the determination of priorities.

ESG: In addition to the above criteria, request for proposal responses, CDAC and City Council deliberations,
and previous expenditures, the City consulted with the Continuum of Care in determining allocation
priorities for ESG funding. The Continuum of Care coordinates regional efforts to address homelessness
and shelter issues.

A unique factor for the 2nd AAP year is the availability of the COVID‐19 CV funding. In FY 2020‐21, funds
were allocated to organization that have programs that will help and support the most vulnerable and
COVID burdened citizens of Glendale. CV funds were used to fully fund all public service grant applications
and to provide additional services with legal services for housing related issues.

Obstacles to Addressing Underserved Needs

The City of Glendale is making efforts to address and identify activities of highest priority. The housing
market conditions related to demand and supply of both rental and homeownership, as well as the
availability of affordable housing, also determine the use of housing‐related funding such as HOME
Consortium allocations. The amount of available funding simply is not adequate to meet the demand
based on applications received by the City. The fact that many low and moderate‐income households are
cost burdened or severely cost burdened (spending more than 30% or 50% respectively of their income on
housing expense) also remains an obstacle to addressing the underserved. The City is challenged to
develop and implement a well‐coordinated and integrated outcome‐driven service delivery system that
meets the City's housing and community development needs and goals.

    Location Description      Citywide

    Planned Activities        As of publication of this Draft Plan, the City is in currently in
                              procurement for one or more agencies to design and
                              implement a Master Services Agreement that will provide a
                              menu of ESG‐eligible services to those experiencing or at risk
                              of homelessness in the City. This approach will require that
                              qualified subrecipients develop a flexible service delivery
                              system where clients receive individualized assessments and
                              case management, and can access services depending on
                              their individual needs. The City will expect that the successful
                              organization will provide a system that uses all ESG‐eligible
                              activities in any combination that they feel is necessary to
                              achieve the City’s goal to reduce homelessness in the City.

AP‐50 Geographic Distribution ‐ 91.420, 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 of Glendale has identified low to moderate‐income target areas where more than 51% of the
populations are households with incomes at 80% of the Area Median Income as defined and adjusted
annually by HUD. However, for the most part, the City does not direct its assistance based on those target
areas. The Census Tracts which contain a higher concentration of low/mod income persons are 924, 925,
926, 926.01, 926.02, 926.05, 927.15 927.17, 927.18, 928, 930.01, and 930.02. The CDBG, ESG, and HOME
regulations allow for resources to be allocated based on the income characteristics of beneficiaries. As
such, the City allocates its resources for public service activities, affordable housing, and emergency home
repair citywide. CDBG and ESG funding allocations for public service are allocated on a citywide basis. See
attached maps illustrating the City’s low to moderate‐income target areas.

Public facilities and infrastructure improvement activities funded by CDBG will be located in the City's low
to moderate‐income census tracts if they meet an area benefit national objective. Such activities will be
carried out in the target areas and the City's Downtown Redevelopment Target Area (DRTA), as adopted by
the City Council. Public facilities and improvements will be focused in zip codes 85301 and 85302.
CDBG funded public facilities and infrastructure improvement activities will also be carried out in non‐
designated areas. Such public facilities and improvement activities will benefit limited clientele (special
needs) populations.
