Glendale’s Community Services Department, in collaboration with the Glendale Elementary School District System of Care Center, will celebrate the opening of its new office location at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 21, in the Glendale Elementary School District System of Care Center, 7677 W. Bethany Home Road, Building.

Residents will be able to access a "one-stop-shop" for seeking housing support, rental assistance, home repairs and connections to other partner programs to meet basic needs at this new office.

Next week's event is a combination open house and ribbon-cutting for new centralized services in a campus setting with other service providers. Mayor Jerry Weiers and other city leaders will speak.

Tours of the renovated, approximately 12,000-square-foot space are available.

This partnership with the Glendale Elementary School District allows city services to be on a campus setting with other human services providers, creating a comprehensive approach to achieving family self-sufficiency and sustainability, officials said.

City services at the campus will include an array of resident-based programs, including community engagement, strategic partnerships, crisis assistance, housing programs, community development investments, emergency home repair, crisis assistance and active case management programs.
