Lottery Results Released for $2.75 Million in COVID-19 Recovery Grant Funds

The Glendale City Council made available $2.75 million in COVID-19 Recovery Grants on July 1, 2020 to help those facing financial hardship due to COVID-19. Low-income renters were given the opportunity to apply for funding. Because the program was oversubscribed, a random lottery was conducted by an independent third party vendor on July 24, 2020. Staff reviewed and certified the list and have posted the results. Funding for the program was allocated through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) for Community Development Block Grant – Coronavirus (“CDBG-CV”).

Please note that selection in the lottery does not guarantee that your application is qualified. Each applicant being considered for housing assistance will be interviewed and will be required to demonstrate their eligibility to adhere to all of the guidelines of the project. Because funding for this program is federal, applicants are subject to additional restrictions; therefore, applicants who were selected in the lottery will continue to be further screened by the City.
