EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES‐05 Executive Summary – 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction 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 housing market; establishes housing and community 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.
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. 5. Summary of public comments The FY 2021‐22 AAP was available for public comment for a 30‐day period starting Friday, March 12th, 2021 through April 11th, 2021. Public hearings were conducted on Thursday, March 11, 2021 and Thursday, March 18, 2021. The second public hearing was held during the regular Community Development Advisory Committee Meeting. TBD comments were received during the comment period. 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them TBD 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.

The City receives an allocation of Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds as a member of the Maricopa HOME Consortium. The Maricopa County Human Services Department is the lead agency for the Annual Action Plan Public Contact Information Mr. Matthew Hess, Revitalization Administrator Community Revitalization Division, Community Services Department City of Glendale 5850 W Glendale Avenue, Suite 107 Glendale, AZ 85301 623‐930‐3670 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.

ESG activities for FY 2021‐22 Table 4 – Citizen Participation Outreach EXPECTED RESOURCES AP‐15 Expected Resources ‐ 91.420(b), 91.220(c)(1,2) 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

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 NA 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.

AP‐35 Projects ‐ 91.420, 91.220(d) 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. Grant Source Amount CDBG HUD $2,423,635 ESG HUD $211,275 HOME Maricopa County $686,496 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.

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.
