The Community Summary Report and a copy of the draft CAPER are now available on the city’s website and were reported to Council at the CDBG Public Hearing on November 9th, 2021.
This CAPER details the performance of the City’s CDBG Program for the Program Year 2020 (September 1, 2020 - August 31, 2021), with the specific accomplishments outlined.
The City held a 30-day public comment period from October 22 -through November 22, 2021 to allow the public to review the CAPER.
