Board approves HUD CAPER, authorizes submission of annual report

The Board received a staff presentation on the FY25‑26 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for CDBG and HOME programs. K.J. Kaminski, director of the Office of Supportive Housing, and Katrina summarized FY26 allocations (about $3.9 million in HOME/CDBG uses) and reported accomplishments including emergency home repairs, supportive services counts and completed capital projects. Kaminski told the Board that the CAPER will be submitted to HUD by the September 28 deadline if the Board approved.

Vice President Arenas and other supervisors emphasized fidelity to evidence‑based prevention and permanent housing approaches when cities spend funds; staff said federal formula and statutory caps limit reallocation between certain buckets (for example, the 15% public‑services cap and a 20% administrative cap). The Board voted to approve the recommended action, authorizing submission of the CAPER to HUD.

What’s next: staff will submit the CAPER to HUD as authorized and continue to report on program outcomes and the supportive‑housing dashboard.
