Purpose of the hearing
As part of the Portland Consortium that includes the City of Gresham, the City of Portland, and Multnomah County, Portland annually receives funding from the federal Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the four affordable housing and community development programs: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). An annual Action Plan details the levels of funding available for the aforementioned programs for the upcoming fiscal year with project-specific allocations and goals. Additionally, participating jurisdictions are required each year to evaluate and report on their performance for the previous year’s entitlement grants. This notice is to announce the availability of the draft CAPER 2024 for the City of Portland.
The CAPER reports on expenditures, accomplishments, and progress made on the strategies and goals outlined in the Consolidated Plan and the projects and activities detailed in the Action Plan for Fiscal Year 24-25. The CAPER details progress in achieving affordable housing, ending homelessness, and community development goals using the CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA grant programs.
