Body
DISCUSSION:
The City’s 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan identifies housing needs and problems in the community, sets priorities and strategies, allocates resources under the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) funded programs and provides an annual plan to track how resources will be spent and goals accomplished. As required by HUD, a Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (“CAPER”) must be prepared by all jurisdictions receiving entitlement funds from HUD.
The CAPER is intended to review the City’s progress towards achieving the goals outlined in its adopted 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan. The City is required to submit this report to HUD as a condition of its receipt of an annual grant of CDBG funds.
