City Of Glendale

City Of Glendale, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Glendale, California, receives federal grant awards as a prime recipient across HUD housing and homelessness programs, justice and public safety grants, and workforce development and disaster-recovery sub-awards routed through state agencies and federal intermediaries. The city does not hold federal contracts or sit on procurement vehicles; its federal footprint is entirely grant-based, with 91% of recent awards held as prime recipient status and the remainder as sub-recipient of state and federal pass-through funding.

HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development dominates the city's grant portfolio, accounting for 289 awards (77% of all recent federal awards) concentrated in the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), the Home Investment Partnerships Program (CFDA 14.239), the Community Development Block Grant Program (CFDA 14.218), and the Emergency Solutions Grant Program (CFDA 14.231). The city serves as the fiscal administrator and prime recipient for permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and affordable housing development across multiple annual project grant cycles running through 2027 and beyond. Concrete examples include a $1.115 million Continuum of Care Program special-notice award for unsheltered and rural homelessness (August 2026), a $1.245 million Home Investment Partnerships formula grant (December 2025), a $152 thousand Emergency Solutions Grant formula award (December 2025), and a $133 thousand Continuum of Care planning and coordination award (July 2026). In several awards, the city passes through funds to sub-recipients such as Home Again Los Angeles (a minority-owned nonprofit providing rapid rehousing and case management to a minimum of six families) and Ascencia (providing permanent supportive housing to a minimum of twelve chronically homeless households).

Secondary customer concentration includes the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (21 awards), which funds the Verdugo Regional Crime Laboratory's forensic DNA testing capacity, forensic science equipment and training, automatic license plate recognition systems, and the Glendale Police Department's internet crimes against children (ICAC) unit. Representative awards include a $250 thousand DNA Backlog Reduction Program grant (CFDA 16.741, October 2023), a $347 thousand DNA Backlog Reduction Program formula grant (October 2022), and street outreach program grants for homeless intervention. The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration provides workforce development sub-awards flowing through the California Employment Development Department, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency funds disaster debris removal and infrastructure restoration following natural disaster declarations.

Grant activity has remained consistent over the past five years—ranging from 17 awards in 2023 to 28 in 2024—with eight awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting annual recompete and renewal cycles characteristic of formula grant programs. The source reports $199.4 million in combined dollars obligated across all awards against a combined potential value listing of $24 thousand, indicating that the potential-value field in the source data captures only a subset of grant awards and does not reflect the city's full obligated federal grant footprint; the actual combined value of HUD housing and justice grants alone exceeds $5 million when summed from the named award descriptions. The city holds no federal contract vehicles, GWACs, BPAs, or IDIQs; it operates exclusively as a grant recipient administering federal funds for community development, homelessness reduction, forensic laboratory operations, and public safety.
