At the end of each fiscal year, jurisdictions must draft a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to document the year’s accomplishments. HUD requires each jurisdiction to document activities and respond to specific issues to ensure that the funds have been used to principally assist low to moderate-income persons and areas. The CAPER identifies the total amount of CDBG funds available during the year, the total amount expended, and the accomplishments in attaining the goals and objectives from the jurisdiction’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The CAPER must be submitted within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year. Jurisdictions must also allow a 15-day comment period for citizens to review and comment prior to submission. The public comment period for the most recent CAPER, fiscal year ending September 30, 2011 opened on December 1, 2011 and was ended on December 16, 2011. The CAPER was submitted to HUD on December 23, 2011.
