GLENDORA HOMELESSNESS PLAN

In 2017, over two-thirds of Los Angeles County voters approved Measure H, a 1/4-cent sales tax designed to create the first revenue stream dedicated to addressing and preventing homelessness in the County. Measure H will generate funding over 10 years, from 2017 through 2027, unless renewed. The County of Los Angeles and United Way Home for Good Funders Collaborative offered grants to local cities to develop a community plan for responding to homelessness. The goal was to present actionable items over the next three (3) years that the City can take to implement, enhance, and share resources to better address the concerns arising with this particular segment of our community. The City hosted two community meetings and met with nearly a dozen service providers that are actively interacting with housed and unhoused Glendora residents, and have utilized their feedback to assist in the completion of this plan. The plan was approved by City Council on June 12, 2018.

HOMELESS SERVICES AND OUTREACH

In 2018 the city applied for two Measure H homeless initiative grants. In 2019 the city received the grants. As part of the grants the city contracted with Union Station Homeless Services whose outreach and housing navigation team served community members experiencing homelessness until 2022.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, on April 14, 2020, the City Council authorized the appropriation of $150,000 in one-time funds to allow staff to execute agreements with local hotels, motels and similar businesses to house and provide services to homeless individuals for the duration of the local emergency declared for COVID-19.

The approved funding by the city made it possible to utilize motels and services in Glendora to house its most vulnerable community members experiencing homelessness. Since April 2020, the city was able to provide shelter to over 60 people, whose ages ranged from two years to 75 years old.

In May 2022 the city entered into a two-year contract with The Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (L.A. CADA) to provide full-time homeless outreach services throughout the city. This team consists of a Registered Alcohol/Drug Technician (RADT) and housing navigator who provide street-based outreach services five days a week. This team works closely with the city's Recreation and Human Services Department and Glendora Police Department's Community Impact team to provide strategic outreach and referral support to individuals experiencing homelessness. Each referral is assessed to determine what available local resources can best serve the individual's unique needs. Meanwhile, ongoing case management support is provided, as needed, to build and implement housing plans and connect community members to interim and permanent housing resources.

HOMELESS COUNT

The Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count is conducted each year by thousands of volunteers including City and
County staff, homeless service providers, and community members. This Point-in-Time (PIT) Count was held January 23, 2024, in Glendora with the help of volunteers from the local community. The PIT Count is intended to fulfill the mandate of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to paint a picture of the progress, trends, and shifts in the fight to end homelessness. This updated data allows communities to better direct and advocate for vital services to support the needs of our unhoused neighbors. Results of the Count will be evaluated by a team consisting of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and researchers from the University of Southern California's Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work and will be made available later this year.

The Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count is best interpreted as a snapshot of homelessness at the regional level. The count goes through extensive quality control to provide a statistically accurate countywide insight into homelessness and is most useful when applied to the broader Service Planning Area (SPA).To gain a better understanding of homelessness locally, however the City contracted with City Net in August 2023, to conduct a more detailed census of individuals experiencing homelessness. This census is a distinct but complementary project from the HUD-mandated, county-wide PIT Count undertaken by LAHSA. The 2023 City Net census included a survey of all participants to better understand their needs and experiences. Read the full City Net 2023 Homeless Census Report here.
