#4bCAPER Public Hearing
NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES MEMORANDUM
March 10, 2010
TO: Community Development Authority
FROM: Jennifer Petruzzello, Neighborhood Services Director
SUBJECT: Agenda Item 4: Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
(CAPER) Public Hearing
Each year, the City must prepare a report which explains how the Community
Development Block Grant Program and HOME Program funds were used during the
previous year, and which details progress made on accomplishing the goals of the
Consolidated Plan. This report is referred to as the Consolidated Annual Performance
and Evaluation Report (or CAPER). The report particularly looks at the various housing
programs provided by the City. A copy of the draft CAPER Executive Summary is
attached.
In the preparation of the reports for the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), a public hearing is required to obtain the citizen comments on the
city’s performance. This public hearing has been scheduled for the March 17, 2010
CDA meeting. The comments received during the public hearing or during the required
fifteen day public review period will be included in the final report submitted to HUD.
No action is required by the Community Development Authority following the public
hearing although member comments on this draft are greatly appreciated.
