Background and Analysis:

As required by HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development), the public has had an opportunity to review and comment on both the full "Program Year 2013 CAPER" in the required format along with a "DRAFT 2013 CAPER Citizen's Summary" that is more user friendly.

The Council held a public hearing on November 25, 2014, as part of a 15-day public comment period that ran from November 10, 2014, through 9 AM, Wednesday, November 26, 2014.  This opportunity allowed community members to evaluate the City's CDBG Program accomplishments. No public comments were received during the hearing or the public comment period.

The CAPER is the annual report for the City of Olympia's Community Development Block Grant Program.  It describes the year-end status of all activities by the City in the Program Year 2013 Action Plan, the first year of the five-year Consolidated Plan (2013-2017).  It also evaluates accomplishments.  The report covers activities between September 1, 2013, and August 31, 2014.

The draft report was made available at the following locations:

1.      Online at the City of Olympia's website (www.olympiawa.gov <http://www.olympiawa.gov>)

2.      At Olympia City Hall, 601 4^th Ave E, Community Planning and Development Department, 2^nd Floor;
