III. GENERAL CAPER NARRATIVE <br />CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG funds are awarded to the City by HUD's Community Planning and <br />Development (CPD) division. As a recipient of these funds the City is required to prepare a CAPER at <br />the end of each fiscal year. The City has prepared this CAPER for the recently completed 2013 -2014 <br />Program Year, which began July 1, 2013 and ended on June 30, 2014. <br />A. Assessment of 5 -Year Consolidated Plan Goals & Objectives <br />The 2010 -2014 Consolidated Plan was developed through a citizen participatory process and <br />identified the City's housing and community needs, prioritized these heeds, and established five - <br />year objectives and annual goals aimed at addressing priority needs. The goal of the Consolidated <br />Plan was to improve the quality of life for all Santa Ana residents with an emphasis on the City's <br />lower income households. EXHIBIT 3 provides a summary of the City's activities undertaken during <br />the 2013 -2014 report period to address priority housing and community development needs. <br />1. Activities Undertaken to Address Goals and Objectives <br />EXHIBIT 4 provides an overview of activities undertaken by the City during the 2010 -2014 <br />Consolidated Plan timeframe, including accomplishment information for the recently concluded <br />2013 -2014 Program Year— the fourth year of the five -year cycle. <br />In recent years HUD has implemented an outcomes performance management system that requires <br />communities that receive HCD funds to link accomplishment data more directly to goals and <br />objectives delineated in the Consolidated Plan. To this end, HUD has recommended that several <br />tables be incorporated into the City's CAPER. These tables are incorporated into this performance <br />report as EXHIBITS. <br />2. Use of CPD Grant Funds <br />Table 4 lists the amount of CPD funds that were allocated to the City by HUD for the 2013 -2014 <br />report period. Additionally, the City received $197,526.12 in CDBG program income and <br />$355,284.44 in HOME program income during the report period. No program income was <br />generated by HOPWA or ESG funded activities. <br />Also, Table 4 provides a summary of "Resources" made available during the report period - <br />including non -HUD funds. This table compares the source and amount of funds the City "Planned" <br />to receive during the 2013 -2014 report period versus the amount actually received. <br />7 DRAFT 2013 -2014 CAPER <br />Exhibit 2 <br />19F -16 <br />
