What is the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)?

As a Grantee of HUD CDBG and HOME funds, the City of Merced is required to report to both its citizens and HUD on the accomplishments and progress toward the Consolidated Plan ("ConPlan") Goals, and affirm to HUD that funds are being prioritized to benefit low- to moderate-income persons.

The ConPlan is carried out through Annual Action Plans, which provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the ConPlan.

Each CAPER reports on the last Annual Action Plan for the program year that just ended, and is usually due to HUD by September 28 of each year.

Prior to submittal, the City must hold one public meeting and provide a minimum of 15 days for public review and comment of the draft report before the City Council can approve the report and authorize submittal to HUD. This process is typically begun immediately after submittal of the next year's Annual Action Plan (June/July each year).
