Council Memorandum Neighborhood Resources - Memo No. NR23-024 Date: September 13, 2023 To: Housing and Human Services Commission Thru: Leah Powell, Neighborhood Resources Director Riann Balch, Community Resources Senior Manager From: Karin Bishop, Community Development Senior Program Manager Subject: Public Hearing on the Program Year 2022–2023 Chandler Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). Background: Each year, the City of Chandler is required to evaluate the programs funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and publish the results in a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The purpose of this report is to measure Chandler’s success meeting the priority needs, goals and strategies described in the city’s 2020–2025 Five–Year Consolidated Plan. As part of the process for creating the CAPER, the city is required to conduct a 15-day public comment period and one public hearing. The public comment period began on Monday, August 28, 2023, and concludes on Thursday, September 14, 2023. A CAPER public hearing will be held at the September 13, 2023, Housing and Human Services Commission meeting. Public comments received during the public comment period or public hearing will be included in the final CAPER report that will be submitted to HUD on or before September 28, 2023. Discussion: The draft program year (PY) 2022-2023 CAPER has been prepared to meet HUD’s requirements for an annual performance evaluation. This report summarizes the city’s accomplishments for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. In addition, the CAPER includes accomplishments achieved by non-profit organizations delivering human services in the Chandler community through the support of general fund dollars. The city’s general funds leverage the federally-funded programs to expand services to Chandler residents.
