CAPER FY 22-23

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awards the City of Gainesville (City) CDBG and HOME Program funds which benefit very low, low, and moderate income persons residing within the Gainesville city limits. In order to receive CDBG and HOME Program funds, the City is required to prepare a 5-Year plan known as the Consolidated Plan (ConPlan). Subsequently, at the beginning of each year, the City prepares a one-year expenditure plan known as the Annual Action Plan (AAP) outlining the planned use of CDBG and HOME Program funds. At the conclusion of the fiscal year, the City must prepare a yearend report known as the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The CAPER discusses the City’s progress in implementing projects and activities of the AAP with the CDBG and HOME funds that are received from HUD. The 2022-2023 CAPER covers the period of October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023, and provides a summary of activities undertaken with CDBG and HOME funds during the report period.

Under the guidelines established by HUD, notice is hereby given that the City will hold a public hearing and public comment period regarding the submission of the City’s 2022-2023 CAPER for the CDBG and HOME programs. The purpose of the Public Notice and Public Hearing is to gain citizen input on the City’s efforts in meeting its goals and objectives described in the HUD-approved 20182023 Consolidated Plan and 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan.
