Burbank Sees Glendale As A Model In Addressing Homelessness

The City of Burbank, home to Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show, is looking at its neighbor, Glendale as a model of addressing homelessness on a local level.

PATH Achieve Glendale is the primary housing and service provider in Glendale, and has developed a wide continuum of housing and services. From strategic street outreach, to rapid re-housing, to permanent affordable housing. It is a Project Y!MBY (Yes! In My Back Yard) approach that has galvanized the local community. The Executive Director is Natalie Komuro.

Let’s hope Burbank could partner with Glendale in addressing their regional homeless issues. Since collaboration is the only approach that is effective.
