[Saturday, March 9, 2024]The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) is preparing its 2023 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) on the progress and accomplishments made during the 2023 program year in implementing the Commonwealth's Consolidated Plan for Federal Fiscal Years 2019—2023. This document must be submitted to, and approved by, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Commonwealth and organizations within this Commonwealth to receive funding under most HUD housing and community development programs. The Consolidated Plan creates a unified strategy for housing, homelessness and community development programs, as well as the necessary linkages for building successful neighborhoods and communities.
The Commonwealth has allocated funds under several programs, namely Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Emergency Solutions Grant, Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS Program and the Housing Trust Fund. Additionally, this CAPER will detail accomplishments from supplemental funding from HUD appropriations under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, Community Development Block—Disaster Recovery Program, Community Development Block Grant—Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and the Emergency Solutions Grant—CARES Act. The CAPER discusses accomplishments in relation to goals and objectives identified in the 2023 Annual Action Plan of the 2019—2023 Consolidated Plan.
The CAPER assesses the goals and objectives of this strategic plan, discusses how the Commonwealth is affirmatively furthering fair and affordable housing, reviews the activities of the Continuums of Care, and appraises how well resources in community development, homelessness and housing are being leveraged.
