Doran Residences, 314 W. Doran St.

Density Bonus Lottery Results! On Wednesday, September 17, 2025, the City of Glendale conducted a random computerized lottery for three (3) affordable housing units at Doran Residences.

The City received 5,121 applications for this opening. A preference was given to people who live and/or work in Glendale. Since more than 1,300 applicants passed the initial income eligibility screening, and they both lived and worked in Glendale, only those applicants who live AND work in Glendale received the highest preference and were entered into the lottery. After the appeal period, 258 additional applicants were added to the lottery eligible list.

The final lottery eligible list included 1,594 applicants. A computerized lottery system randomly selected the top 100 applicants, who will now move forward to the next stage of the process.

Lottery Results:

1. By the order in which lottery numbers were drawn (VIEW RESULTS BY POSITION NUMBER)

IMPORTANT NOTES! Selection in the lottery does not guarantee that an applicant will receive a unit. Selected applicants will be contacted by the developer in the order of their position on the waitlist. Each must complete an eligibility review process. Additional screening by the property management company may also be required.

If your Lottery ID number is not listed, your number was not drawn, and you will not have the opportunity to move forward in this lottery. Applicants who are found to have submitted duplicate applications will be disqualified, even if their lottery number was selected.

We thank all applicants for their interest in the City of Glendale’s Inclusionary Housing Program, which made these three affordable units possible.
