Title
Hold A Public Hearing And Consider A Resolution To Adopt The Program Year 2024 Consolidated Annual Performance And Evaluation Report On The Use Of Community Development Block Grant Funds.
Body
BACKGROUND:
This item is to receive public comment and to consider a resolution adopting the City’s Program Year (PY) 2024 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). Federal regulations require the City to submit this annual report within 90 days of the program year's end, documenting how Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds were utilized during the program year.
On October 1, 2024, the City of Carrollton received a new allocation of $711,716 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Additionally, $577,887 in unutilized funds from prior allocations was spent, resulting in a total expenditure of $1,289,603 for Program Year 2024. In compliance with federal regulations, these funds were programmed to support activities benefiting low- and moderate-income residents of Carrollton. For Program Year 2024, the funds were utilized as follows:
• $643,126 Parks improvement projects;
• $285,857 Infrastructure projects;
• $104,377 Metrocrest Services for Homeless Prevention programs;
• $72,535 Administration including training and public notices;
• $75,905 Minor Home Repair projects
• $75,593 Enhanced Code Enforcement in CDBG target areas;
• $32,210 Carrollton Black Cemetery Phase 1
Staff has developed the required draft report and it has been available for citizen review for over 30 days in the Community Development office. Staff anticipates submitting the final report to HUD in advance of the December 31, 2025 deadline.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The drafting and adoption of the CAPER is required for continued participation in the CDBG Program. To date, the program has utilized nearly $19 million in new resources for reinvestment in the oldest areas of Carrollton.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
Annually, the Carrollton CDBG Program secures, allocates, and administers approximately $700,000 in new community development resources for use in the oldest areas of the city. Long-term community sustainability is supported through this program and results in significant financial reinvestment in aging neighborhoods.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends the City Council conduct a public hearing and approval of the resolution to adopt the Program Year 2024 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report.
