Clearwater advisory board recommends CAPER for FY24–25 be sent to City Council and HUD
Summary
The board recommended Nov. 18 that City Council approve Clearwater’s FY24–25 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for submission to HUD after a 15-day public comment period; staff presented accomplishments, expenditures, and next steps to upload the CAPER after council approval.
Clearwater staff presented the city’s Fiscal Year 2024–25 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) at a Nov. 18 advisory-board meeting and the board voted to recommend the CAPER be forwarded to City Council for approval and submission to HUD.
Dylan Mayhew, introduced in the transcript as the housing manager, told the board the CAPER summarizes federal fund activity and pulls data from HUD’s IDIS system; staff enlisted consultant Wade Trim to help finish the report under a compressed schedule and described the review and public-comment timeline. "It was a mad dash and a photo finish, but we're here," Mayhew said about completing the report.
Mayhew reviewed outcomes and expenditures reported in the CAPER: combined HOME/SHIP/CDBG housing activities assisted 253 people under the housing goal; the city reported constructing one rental unit and rehabbing one rental unit, constructing two homeowner units toward a goal of seven (plus an acquisition that will add three units tied to Indigo Apartments to next year’s CAPER), rehabbing 13 homeowner units (two using federal funds and 11 with SHIP), providing 18 down-payment assistance loans (8 HOME, 10 SHIP), assisting 42 households with tenant-based rental assistance (goal 60), and providing homeownership counseling or funding for 176 households.
On funding, Mayhew reported CDBG resources of $2,617,994 with $1,043,672 expended; HOME funds totaling $4,897,672 with $377,610 expended and an estimated conceptual balance of about $700,000 remaining for predevelopment projects; SHIP balance $1,898,317 with $1,169,975 expended. He also noted public facilities and CDBG-CV (COVID-relief) projects and that several projects rolled into the next fiscal year’s reporting.
Board members asked how client counts are compiled; staff explained data are provided by subrecipients, uploaded into Neighborly and transferred to IDIS for reporting, and that the CAPER figure reflects the Oct. 1–Sept. 30 fiscal reporting window for FY24–25. A board member moved and the board voted to recommend the CAPER to City Council; staff said the CAPER will be presented to council on Dec. 4 and, if approved, uploaded to HUD before Dec. 31.
