Classic Screwball Comedy Under the Stars Tonight
Glendale, CA · August 29, 2026
The Verdugo foothills are sharp against the morning sky, and the evening breeze will be well worth the daytime wait. A classic Hollywood comedy on the lawn and lively street patios await your Saturday.
The Lead
Glendale’s latest Point-in-Time homeless count reveals a shifting landscape in local housing efforts. While the total count of individuals experiencing homelessness citywide climbed 12% to 220, the data showed a notable 54% decrease in people who originally fell into homelessness within city borders—dropping from 37 to 17. The increase stems primarily from regional movement across Los Angeles County, highlighting both the resilience of Glendale’s local prevention efforts and ongoing regional pressures.
Following a joint session with the Glendale Housing Authority, city officials are focusing on expanding shelter bed capacity, bolstering street outreach through partners like Ascencia, and reinforcing upstream rental assistance to keep vulnerable households stably housed. Program reviews and provider funding updates will return to council this fall.
