“The cost of housing in Glendale is prohibitively high.… High housing cost also contributes to the risk of homelessness…
In 2000, the Glendale Homeless Coalition estimates that … Approximately 28 percent [of Glendale’s homeless] are in families. The homeless families include approximately 71 children.
In addition to the homeless population, in 1994, agencies serving the homeless reported that they receive request for services from at least 10,000 persons annually who are at-risk of homelessness and who live in the Glendale area.”
“For all unit sizes, average advertised rents increased more during the past year, than in the previous five years combined.”
All of the preceding quotes were taken from the City of Glendale’s Housing Authority 2000-2005 Affordable Housing Study! See http://www.glendaletenant.com/housing_survey.pdf
The City knows the problem is out of control. We know the problem is out of control! There are about 130,000 tenants in our city. All we need to do is act together to change the laws and restore quality to our lives!
