Council adopts FY 2024–25 CDBG CAPER; city to submit report to HUD
Summary
The council adopted the FY 2024–25 CDBG CAPER after staff and consultant review. The city reported a $886,118 allocation and $870,802.33 in expenditures for the program year and described accomplishments including a 4.8‑mile bike lane project serving 20,085 residents.
Perris adopted the FY 2024–25 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) at the Sept. 9 meeting and authorized the city manager or designee to submit the report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Cindy Hernandez of Avant Garde, the city’s CDBG consultant, presented the CAPER and walked the council through program requirements, funding caps, and accomplishments for the program year. Hernandez said the city’s FY 2024–25 CDBG allocation was $886,118 and that staff reported $870,802.33 in expenditures for the program year (the figure is subject to change pending the quarter‑4 drawdown).
Hernandez summarized public‑service and non‑public‑service activities supported with CDBG funds. Public‑service providers that reported meeting or exceeding goals included the Fair Housing Council of Riverside County (assisted 139 Perris residents, completing 87% of a proposed goal for that activity), Family Services Association, Love for Life, and Voices for Children. Non‑public‑service activities included mobile home repairs and a downtown sidewalk improvement project that executed a memorandum of understanding in August 2025.
Hernandez also reported that the City of Perris Public Services Department implemented a bike‑lane project that installed 4.8 miles of Class 3 bike lanes, one bike rack, a hand‑sanitizer station and a bike‑repair station in CDBG‑eligible areas, benefitting 20,085 low‑ and moderate‑income residents.
Council opened and closed a public hearing with no public speakers. Mayor Pro Tem Raab moved to adopt the CAPER resolution, Councilman Corona seconded, and the clerk announced the vote as 5–0. The council authorized the city manager or designee to submit the CAPER to HUD and to make modifications as required.
