Recommendation
Staff recommends City Council approve the FY 2014-2015 CDBG Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for submittal to HUD.

BACKGROUND:
The CAPER outlines the progress made by the City on achieving goals established in the City's coinciding 2012-2016 Consolidated Plan and 2014-15 Annual Action Plan.

DISCUSSION:
The draft CAPER includes information regarding amount of funds invested in projects and activities, descriptions of households assisted through the use of CDBG funds, actions taken to affirmatively further fair housing, and other information relevant to the status of grant funded projects administered by the City of Cathedral City which affect local housing and community development needs.
For FY 2014, the City utilized sub-recipients to provide senior, homeless, domestic violence and fair housing services. In order to receive grant funding, the sub-recipients were required to execute a written agreement which includes CDBG specific language prior to requesting funds from the City. After the agreements were initiated, the subrecipients were able to request reimbursement for work performed on behalf of Cathedral City.
