Human Services Supervisor Eric Dumier told the Community Services Commission that Glendora’s outreach teams and partners have sustained engagement with people experiencing homelessness and that recent local counts and grant awards are showing results.

"The final observed count was 64 individuals this year," Dumier said, summarizing a local homeless census conducted with CityNet and volunteers. He said the city funded local censuses in 2021 and 2023 and partnered again this year; Dumier emphasized county-level data are most statistically accurate but that local observed counts guide city planning.

Dumier reported that the city received $50,000 grants for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 (total $100,000) and that at the end of the grant performance period "over $91,000 was used" for eviction prevention, interim housing, substance-use treatment and essential services. He said, since April, the outreach effort achieved one permanent housing placement, 13 shelter placements and helped match two clients to Section 8 vouchers (one completed).

Dumier described partnerships with Lakota outreach, CityNet, Glendora Police Department’s community impact team and a mobile medical clinic from East Valley Community Health Center; those partners provided on-site assessments, referrals and transportation assistance during outreach events. He said motel vouchers remain an important interim tool: 15 individuals received vouchers from April to September totaling 368 nights, 306 of which were paid through the housing solutions fund.

On funding changes, Dumier and human services staff explained that Measure H was replaced by Measure A at the county level and that 60% of Measure A funds will flow to local solutions; the city applied for $180,536 through the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments to expand local programs. Dumier also noted a county restructuring that reallocated roughly $300,000,000 into a new Department of Homeless Services and Housing and said the system transition is ongoing.

Commissioners asked about geographic clustering, hotline numbers and whether the new Gold Line station had increased homelessness; Dumier said encounters remain concentrated near major travel corridors (Route 66, Grand Avenue, Lone Hill and the 210 freeway) and that staff have not observed an increase related to the Gold Line.

Commissioner Britney moved to receive and file the homelessness update; the motion was seconded and passed 5–0.
