Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider approving a resolution regarding the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for Program Year 2021.
Summary
The CDBG program provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitled communities to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The City of Pflugerville became an entitlement community in 2013 and developed the first 5-year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan in 2014. The Consolidated Plan serves as the application to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for CDBG funding. The Consolidated Plan is designed to aid local jurisdictions in assessing their housing and community development needs and priorities. The priorities established by the Consolidated Plan are carried out through actions and activities each year as established in the Annual Action Plan.
At the end of each program year entitlement communities are required to submit a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to HUD. This report is a summary of the activities completed during the program year. This CAPER is a reflection of the 2020 Program Year which began on October 1, 2021 and ended on September 30, 2022. During this program year the City completed the seventh year of the Youth Recreation Scholarship Program, which provided children within the community the ability to attend the Parks' summer camp and dance classes, as well as completed the construction of Yellow Sage St.
The CAPER is available for review by the public from November 30 to December 15 online at pflugervilletx.gov/cdbg.
The projects utilized $361,277 in CDBG funds consisting of dollars allocated in Program Year 2021.
Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the CAPER at the December 5, 2022 meeting.
Deadline for City Council Action
Action is requested on December 13th in order to meet deadlines required by HUD for submittal of the CAPER.
