Consolidated Plan; 2009 Annual Performance and Evaluation Report [40 Pa.B. 4307]
[Saturday, July 31, 2010]The Department of Community and Economic Development (Department) is preparing its Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) on the progress and accomplishments made during 2009 in implementing the Commonwealth's Consolidated Plan for Federal Fiscal Years 2009-2013. This document must be submitted to, and approved by, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Commonwealth and organizations within this Commonwealth to receive funding under most HUD housing and community development programs. The Consolidated Plan creates a unified strategy for housing and community development programs, as well as the necessary linkages for building successful neighborhoods and communities.
The Commonwealth has allocated funds under several programs, namely Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Emergency Shelter Grant and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS. The CAPER discusses accomplishments in relation to goals and objectives identified in the Action Plan of the Consolidated Plan.
The CAPER assesses the goals and objectives of this strategic plan; how the Commonwealth is affirmatively furthering fair and affordable housing; the activities of the Continuum of Care; as well as how resources in community development and housing are being leveraged.
