What: Draft FY2026 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) on the city's HUD entitlement grants (CDBG, HOME and ESG) for July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, year two of the five-year consolidated plan.
Where it stands: Presented as an information item with no action required. Public comments from the council meeting were to be incorporated before the final report went to HUD on or before September 28, 2026.
2026-09-23 - City Council - Item 603, information only. Staff reported more than 40 nonprofit partners and 101 projects supported, about 48.8 million dollars in federal HUD funds invested, and progress on affordable housing, small business, public facility, homelessness and community service goals. Public comment raised shelter-bed progress against the five-year goal, tenant housing conditions and smoke-free multi-unit housing. Council members asked about prioritizing keeping people housed versus building new units; staff said both approaches continue as long as entitlement funding arrives.
