RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE submission of the County's FY 2021/22 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the following federal programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Act (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP).

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. This action seeks to approve the year-end performance report for the FY 2021/22 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 2021/22 CAPER include the following:
  • The County received approximately $8.5 million in FY 2021/22 CDBG,HOME, HOPWA, ESG funds for use in accomplishing housing and non-housing community development objectives.
  • The County expended $7 million on approved projects and programs (expenditures were for projects awarded funds in previous years and FY 2021/22).
  • For each dollar of the County federal funds spent for projects that were completed during the year, $14.30 was leveraged from other federal, State, local, and private resources.
  • Over 36,000 lower income persons/families were served through public service programs. 3 lower income persons were placed in jobs through economic development programs. 226 microenterprises/businesses were assisted through economic development programs.
  • 4 Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects were completed.
  • 6 rental housing units were rehabilitated and occupied for low-income veterans.
  • 7 owner-occupied homes were rehabilitated.
  • 19 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.
  
In addition, the County received additional funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), to add approximately $7.02 million in Community Development Block Grant-Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds and $10.6 million in Emergency Solutions Grant-Coronavirus (ESG-CV) funds, for use in accomplishing housing and non-housing community development objectives in response to COVID-19. The County is still expending those additional resources and staff anticipates expenditure of those funds to continue through June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2022, the additional funds have assisted in providing the following to address the impacts of COVID-19:
  • 11,531 lower-income persons/families were aided in Food Security.
  • 48 microenterprises were awarded grants.
  • 19 low-income renters received financial assistance to prevent them from being homeless during the pandemic.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County cannot submit the CAPER without Board approval, which may 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.
