ALL GLENDALE HOUSING AUTHORITY PROGRAMS ARE

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY PROGRAMS

623.930.3708

MORE ABOUT THE THESE PROGRAMS:

Both programs are federally funded and provide free or low-rent housing to income-eligible

households. At least one member of the household must be a U.S. citizen or have a qualifying

immigration status to be eligible for the programs, but that does not have to be the person

completing the pre-application and the eligible person is not required to be an adult. Household

members will not be asked to provide their citizenship/immigration status or social security

numbers on the pre-application. Households must meet income-eligibility and other screening

requirements if selected.

The Housing Choice Voucher program allows participants to lease rental housing located in

Glendale’s service area with any landlord who is willing to participate in the program. This

includes apartment communities as well as rental homes. The Public Housing program allows

participants to lease rental housing at three city-owned and operated apartment-style properties in

Glendale with units ranging from one to four bedrooms.

The City of Glendale has identified the following individual/household characteristics for priority

placement if selected to be on either waiting list.

• Living, Working, or Last Permanent Residence in Glendale

• Employed, Elderly (62 or older), Disabled, or Military (active duty or veteran)

• Currently Homeless or At Risk of Homelessness

• Domestic Violence Crime Victim (assault, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, etc.)

COMMITMENT TO FAIR HOUSING AND NONDISCRIMINATION

It is against the law to discriminate against anyone because of race, color, religion, sex, national

origin, familial status, or disability. The City of Glendale is committed to taking meaningful action

to affirmatively further fair housing initiatives including:

• Fostering inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based

on protected characteristics.

• Supporting non-discrimination initiatives such as the recent adoption of a new Non Discrimination Code prohibiting discrimination in public accommodation, employment,

and housing and establishing penalties for violations.

• Ensuring that communications with individuals with disabilities are as effective as

communications with individuals without disabilities; and,

• Ensuring meaningful access to programs and services for limited English proficient
