Summary
Roberto Chavez presented the FY 2024 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), outlining CDBG, CDBG‑CV and HOME funding totals (combined roughly $8.1 million) and saying the city plans to leverage HOME carryover and surplus funds toward a 60‑unit, 100% affordable housing development tentatively scheduled to break ground in 2026.
Roberto Chavez, the city’s head program manager, presented the Fiscal Year 2024 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) required by HUD under Title 24, Part 91. Chavez summarized available funding in the city’s federal block grant programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding of about $2.3 million, a CDBG‑CV carryover around $1.1 million, and HOME Program resources of approximately $4.6 million, bringing combined available resources in the neighborhood of $8.1 million.
Chavez outlined eligible activities supported by the funds — public improvements, minor home rehabilitation, senior nutrition and fair‑housing counseling — and said the city expects to leverage HOME carryover and surplus funds starting in 2026 to support a planned 60‑unit, 100% affordable housing development scheduled to break ground that year. He offered to provide the presentation materials to attendees and answered limited questions from the public.
Public comment during the CAPER portion included questions about the use of lingering CDBG‑CV funds and requests for clarity about how those funds were spent. The staff noted the presentation materials and budget breakdowns could be shared after the meeting.
What’s next: Staff said the CAPER summary and line‑item details would be made available to the public and that the city expects to move forward with HOME‑funded affordable housing projects beginning in 2026.
