Title
Public hearing regarding the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report for Program Year 2017.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is an annual report required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The report for Program Year 2017 (PY17) identifies the level of progress and accomplishments during the past program year in meeting the priorities, goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan is a five-year strategic planning document, and this CAPER completes PY17 of the 2014-2019 Consolidated Plan.
To receive HUD entitlement funds, the City annually submits a one-year Action Plan, including proposed projects and federal certifications. The Action Plan is developed in accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan. After submission, projects are implemented in accordance with the approved one-year budget and certifications.
The City received $379,073 in housing and community development funding from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for PY17; the CAPER also provides information regarding expenditures for the program year.
HUD requires a 15-day comment period, and a public hearing prior to submission, allowing for citizens to comment on the information provided in the CAPER. The comment period for PY17 is November 21 to December 7; the public hearing is on November 26 during the City Council meeting. A full draft of the report is available for review at the City Secretary’s Office and the New Braunfels Public Library, and information is also available for review on the City’s Community Development - CDBG Program website during this time. As required by the agency, the final CAPER will be delivered to HUD no later than December 29, 2018.
