FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact. This action seeks to approve the year-end performance report for the FY 2022/23 CDBG, HOME, ESG, HOPWA and NSP programs administered by the County. CFDA Nos.: CDBG - 14.218; HOME - 14.239; ESG- 14.231; HOPWA - 14.241; NSP - 14.218.
BACKGROUND:
Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER): The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, requires all CDBG and HOME entitlement jurisdictions to prepare and submit a CAPER (Attachment A) to the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by September 30th of each year. The CAPER provides the County and interested stakeholders with an opportunity to evaluate the progress in carrying out priorities and objectives contained in the County's five-year Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plan. HUD uses the CAPER to evaluate whether: (1) the County has carried out projects/programs as described in its Consolidated Plan and annual Action Plan; (2) the CDBG, HOME, ESG, NSP, and HOPWA assisted activities are eligible and meet a national objective, and if expenditures meet certain statutory requirements; and (3) the County has demonstrated a continuing capacity to carry out its HUD funded programs.
The basic elements of the CAPER are the following: summary of resources and expenditures, programmatic accomplishments, status of actions taken during the year to implement objectives contained in the Consolidated Plan, and evaluation of progress made during the year in addressing identified priority needs and objectives.
Highlights of the FY 2022/23 CAPER include the following:
• The County received approximately $8.5 million in FY 2022/23 CDBG, HOME, HOPWA, ESG funds for use in accomplishing housing and non-housing community development objectives.
• The County expended $11.8 million on approved projects and programs (expenditures were for projects funded in previous fiscal years and FY 2022/23).
• For each dollar of the County federal funds spent for projects that were completed during the year, $20.60 was leveraged from other federal, State, local, and private resources.
• Over 30,000 lower income persons/families were served through public service programs.
• 4 lower income people were placed in jobs through Economic Development programs.
• 206 businesses were assisted through Economic Development programs.
• 6 Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects were completed.
• 29 rental housing units (Veterans Square) were constructed with 14 units that are HOME/HOPWA-assisted.
• Repair and upgrade elevator modernization was completed in a public housing building for 111 senior households.
• 83 rental housing units (Coggins Square) were rehabilitated and occupied by low-income households.
• 9 low/moderate-income owner-occupied homes were rehabilitated.
• 1,095 low-income renters received services and/or financial assistance to prevent them from being homeless or to quickly regain housing following an episode of being homeless.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County cannot submit the CAPER without Board approval, which would jeopardize future HUD funding.
CHILDREN’S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The project/programs funded with CDBG, HOME, ESG, HOPWA, and NSP funds support one or more of the following children's outcomes: (1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; (2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; (3) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient; (4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and (5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families.
