Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) Program Year 2025
LABEL
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution approving the CDBG Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER).
Body
DISCUSSION:
The City’s 2025-2030 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 2025-2030 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.
CDBG Funding
During Program Year 2025, the City was allocated $591,772 in CDBG entitlement funds. Additionally, while the City had anticipated receiving $9,416 in program income from the revolving loan fund, the City ultimately received $161,550 from loan repayments.
