ATTENTION

(Updated 3.1.2023)

Federal funding for the city’s Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA1) program has ended as of 12/29/2022.  Starting March 1, 2023, the City of Glendale CAP will initiate a program of eviction diversion utilizing additional funding from the U.S. Treasury.  If you are a Glendale household needing rental assistance, you may apply using the application kiosk below. Cases will be reviewed in order of date received and must meet all additional eligibility criteria. Funding is limited to past due and current rent only.  Future rent will no longer be awarded using this funding source.

Although we strive to review and process assistance requests as efficiently as possible, we cannot guarantee any level of expediency due to many variables beyond our control.  As always, we strongly encourage all applicants to ensure they are in direct communication with their landlord regarding their circumstances and are encouraging residents to contact 2-1-1 Arizona Information and Referral Service for additional assistance as needed.

Utility Assistance continues to be available through the Arizona Department of Economic Security, for more information go to https://des.az.gov/LIHEAP or call 1-866-494-1981 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. excluding holidays. If you need assistance navigating the DES application portal, please call Glendale CAP at (623) 930-2854, Option #3.

Please continue to check back here for the latest updates regarding any future program funding changes.
