Hamilton Court Rehab Advances, Council Approves LACASA Budget and Renter Aid Programs

The Glendale City Council and Housing Authority approved funds for Phase Three of the Hamilton Court rehabilitation project, which aims to convert the remaining four units into eight studio apartments, bringing the total to 25 units. This phase is crucial for completing the rehabilitation and expanding the transitional affordable housing for women fleeing domestic violence. The project will extend the affordability covenant from 20 to 55 years, ensuring long-term housing stability. The council also approved the fiscal year 2026-2027 budget for the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACASA), allocating funds for housing production, preservation, ownership, renter protection, and homeless prevention. Key decisions included authorizing staff to seek a waiver for the legal services requirement to reallocate funds to direct assistance and allocating funds to a countywide renter aid coordination program on a trial basis. The GRASP program, a temporary subsidy for low-income households, will be launched on July 6th.
