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 City of Baytown has completed the proposed draft of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the most recent fiscal year ending on September 30, 2008. During the year, there was $1,239,660.46 available in Community Development Block Grant funds. The total amount available included the annual allotment of $850,306, unexpended funds from previous years of $331,591.42, and program income of $57,763.04.

Of these funds, the City of Baytown expended a total of $861,384.20 to provide a multitude of services to benefit low to moderate-income persons and areas within Baytown.
