In accordance with the requirements of AB 987, a database describing existing, new and substantially rehabilitated housing developed or otherwise assisted with monies from the former Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund, including units counted to meet inclusionary and replacement housing obligations, is available online.

Please be aware this is only a record of affordable housing that has been assisted with Low and Moderate Income Housing Funds; it is not a listing of currently available housing. Please contact the sites directly to inquire about availability and eligibility.

The City also adopts "Action Plans" each year to designate and fund specific activities under the CDBG program. Below is a link to the 2023-2028 Five Year Consolidated Plan which includes the 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan as well as Annual Action Plans from previous years and the Substantial Amendment for the 2019-2020 year which includes coronavirus funding issued through the CARES Act.

The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (commonly known as the “AI”), presents a demographic profile of Glendora, assesses the extent of housing needs of its residents, and evaluates the availability of a range of housing choices for all. This report also analyzes the conditions in the private market and public sector that may limit the range of housing choices or impede a person’s access to housing. As the name of the report suggests the document reviews “impediments” to fair housing. While this report also assesses the nature and extent of housing discrimination, the focus is on identifying impediments that may prevent equal housing access and developing solutions to mitigate or remove such impediments.

Every five years, the CDBG program requires the City to adopt a "Consolidated Plan," which establishes the goals and objectives of the CDBG program. The City's current five-year plan, covering 2023-2028 can be viewed by following the link below.

At the end of each program year, the City reports accomplishments of the CDBG program. That report may be viewed by following the link below.
