ATTESTED: September 20, 2011 David Twa, County Administrator and Clerk of the Board of Supervisors By: June McHuen, Deputy cc: C.59 To:Board of Supervisors From:Catherine Kutsuris, Conservation & Development Director Date:September 20, 2011 Contra Costa County Subject:FY 2010/11 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) 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 30 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 5-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 and Action Plans; (2) the CDBG, HOME, ESG, 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 is 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. The County also received Community Development Block Grant-Recovery (CDBG-R) and Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing (HPRP) funds in FY 2008/09. These funds were provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. In addition, the County received Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds through the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. CDBG-R, HPRP, and NSP activities are also included in the County's FY 2010/11 CAPER. Highlights of the CAPER include the following: The County received $9.5 million in FY 2010/11 CDBG, HOME, NSP, ESG, and HOPWA funds for use in accomplishing housing and non-housing community development objectives. The County expended $9.96 million on approved projects and programs (expenditures were for projects funded in previous and current years). The County continued to meet HUD's requirements related to spending CDBG and HOME funds in a timely manner. For each dollar spent in County federal funds for projects that were completed during the year, $7.86 was leveraged from other federal, State, local, and private resources. Over 26,000 lower income persons/families were served through public service programs which represents a 100 percent increase in the number of persons served last year. 41 people were placed in jobs through Economic Development programs. 182 businesses were assisted through Economic Development programs. 8 Infrastructure/Public Facilities projects were completed. 105 affordable rental housing units for seniors were under construction. 30 homes were purchased or rehabilitated. 7 foreclosed homes were purchased and 5 were resold to low and moderate income buyers. 12 of the 15 CDBG-R projects have been completed. 374 households received homeless prevention and rapid re-housing assistance. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Not approving the CAPER would mean the County would not be able to submit it to HUD on time and therefore jeopardize future funding. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Many of the projects/programs funded with CDBG, CDBG-R, HOME, ESG, NSP, HOPWA, and HPRP funds support one or more of the five community outcomes established in the Children's Report Cards.
