body
BACKGROUND:
The City of Ocala, as an entitlement community, receives federal funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the form of an annual grant allocation. To fulfill the requirements of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) agreement, the City is required to prepare and submit a Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) to HUD explaining how the 2022-2023 CDBG grant allocation was expended and how the City accomplished the national objectives of the program.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
During Fiscal Year 2022-23 the City of Ocala used CDBG, HOME, SHIP, and local funding to carry out housing rehabilitation activities that provided safe, decent, and sanitary housing to low- to moderate-income citizens of Ocala. These programs are administered through the City's Community Development Program Division. The attached DRAFT 2022-2023 CDBG CAPER has been prepared and the final document will be submitted to HUD in accordance with 24 CFR 91.520.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval will keep the City in compliance and eligible to receive annual CDBG funding in 2024.
