Council approves CAPER for FY2024 detailing $1.1M in HUD grants and housing repairs
Summary
The council approved the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for federal fiscal year 2024, reporting $1.1 million in HUD awards (about $742,497 CDBG and $374,800 HOME) and summarizing repair and rehabilitation activity including average costs and forgivable loan terms.
Housing and Community Development staff presented the CAPER required by HUD that summarizes activities and accomplishments for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships programs for the 2024 program year.
Staff said HUD awarded $1,100,000 in total funds for the period, with approximately $742,497 in CDBG funds and $374,800 in HOME funds. Examples of program activity included emergency repairs (average cost about $5,314), exterior home improvements (average about $14,400), and whole-home rehabilitation (average noted around $32,900). Staff explained whole-home rehabilitation assistance is provided as a forgivable loan with a maximum assistance amount of $40,000 and a 10-year period of affordability. The CAPER also listed tenant-based rental assistance, public-service organization work, and a $73,464 renovation to the HC King Center as the year's public-facility project.
The council opened the required public hearing, heard no public comment, and voted to approve the CAPER for submission to HUD and authorized the mayor to sign necessary documents (motion carried 7–0). Staff will forward the CAPER to HUD as required.
