The Conventional Public Housing Program provides safe, decent, and affordable housing in rental communities, owned by the City of Glendale, to eligible low-income families and individuals.

Participants in the conventional public housing program are placed in a unit based on family size and availability.

There are 155 apartments in three rental communities that range in size from one to four bedrooms.

Glendale Community Housing will screen each individual and family prior to leasing an apartment.

Dave's Thoughts On Glendale Community Housing

This property is funded through HUD’s Public Housing program. These properties are typically owned and managed by a Public Housing Authority. These properties tend to be much older, as no new public housing has been built in many years. Since the Federal budget has historically (and notoriously) underfunded public housing renovations for decades, these properties tend to have higher vacancies due to uninhabitable units or liveable units that are in poor condition. In addition, since all public housing properties offer rent subsidies, low-income residents only pay rent based on their incomes. For that reason, these properties tend to have longer waiting lists. Check our public housing waiting list data for more information. Since Glendale Community Housing participates in the Public Housing program and has a property based subsidy, if you have a Section 8 voucher, you would have to give up your voucher to move in.
