Page - 2 - BACKGROUND One of the City's responsibilities relative to its annual allocation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds is the preparation of an annual report called the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report, or CAPER. The CAPER is intended to provide a consistent process for communities to report on the use of CDBG entitlement funds and is required by Section 104(e) of the Housing and Community Development Act. The CAPER provides detailed information on the use of CDBG funds by sub-recipient agencies during the prior fiscal year (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023) and provides an opportunity for the City to describe other leveraged funding for housing and community services activities targeted to low and moderate income households/persons. The CAPER process is intended to provide an opportunity for public participation and input at the local level. The information submitted in the report provides an evaluation of grantee and jurisdiction performance to HUD. The City coordinates with the Alameda County HOME Consortium (HOME TAC) for submittal of the document, and it is forwarded to HUD in Washington and is the basis for meeting the statutory requirement to report to Congress on the CDBG program. HUD requires the submittal of the CAPER for the prior fiscal year by September 30 of each year, which is 90 days after the close of the fiscal year. DISCUSSION The City must now prepare and submit its CAPER for FY 2022/23. The information submitted by each agency will be compiled by Staff into HUD’s CAPER format and submitted to HUD by the deadline. The agencies, which received Housing & Human Services Grant funds in FY 2022/23, are listed in Attachment 2, Table P-1. The Commission is encouraged to review the tables and individual CAPER reports. The Human Services Commission will review all HHSG-funded agencies, which are listed in Attachment 2, Table P-1, with the exception of six agencies (indicated in blue highlight). These housing-related projects are funded with Lower Income Housing Fund and federal HOME funds. • Abode Services: Rapid Re-Housing Program • Centro Legal de la Raza: Fair and Secure Housing Project • CityServe of the Tri-Valley: Homeless Intervention and Crisis Stabilization Program • CRIL: Housing & Independent Living Skills • ECHO Housing: Housing Counseling Services • Goodness Village – Tiny Homes • Habitat for Humanity: Housing Rehabilitation Program • Tri-Valley REACH: Seismic Retrofit Tanager Summary of Accomplishments (Tables P-2a and P-2b) Attachment 2, Table P-2a summarizes the accomplishments described in the CAPER reports and provides final expenditure status for each grant. Table P-2b provides the total count of persons served and demographic data for those participants.
