Please be advised that in September, 2009,
the Glendale City Council approved the realignment of the
functions and responsibilities of the Community Development and
Housing Department into three new, reformulated departments in
order to improve service delivery to the community through
coordination of programs and staff. This realignment and
transfer of functions and responsibilities is effective as of
January 1, 2010. The former Community Development and Housing
divisions and their new respective departments are noted below:
Division
Housing Division
Neighborhood Services
Community Development Block
Grant
Workforce Development
New
Department
Community
Redevelopment and Housing
Community Planning
Community Services and Parks

Over the next few months, the
WebPages for the new departments will be changing to reflect the
reorganization. At some point in the near future, the webpage
for the Community Development and Housing Department will be
discontinued and viewers will be redirected.
The League of California Cities recognized Neighborhood Services and the Committee for a Clean
& Beautiful Glendale with Helen Putnam Awards for Excellence in 2005. The League Partners
Award recognized Neighborhood Services' Mariposa Neighborhood Improvement Project, a
rental housing inspection program. The Ruth Vreeland Award for Engaging Youth recognized
