Important Information

While we work to process assistance requests quickly, we cannot guarantee speed due to factors beyond our control. Please stay in contact with your landlord about your situation and consider calling 2-1-1 for additional help.

The Glendale Community Action Program provides financial assistance for those facing a temporary crisis that impacts their ability to meet basic needs. Eligibility varies by funding source, and our specialists will assess your situation to determine the best fit.

Note: Program availability and deadlines depend on our funders. Submitting an application does not guarantee assistance.

Helpful Tip: Some homes with a Glendale mailing address may receive services from another city or Maricopa County.
