Reports & Plans

Annual Action Plan
The Annual Action Plan describes what is planned for the upcoming program year including:
  • Budgets
  • Projects selected for funding and how these fit into the program's long-term plan
  • The program's anticipated actions over the coming year in meeting other long-term goals
  • County commissioner comments and response to the plan
  • Documentation of public notices and any public comments along with county responses
The Annual Action Plan must be approved by HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) before it can be implemented.
HUD Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation & Report (CAPER)
While the Annual Action Plan is primarily tasked with looking forward, the CAPER is primarily tasked with looking back. The CAPER is a HUD-required report that looks back over the past program year and systematically accounts for:
  • All expenditures including dollars spent on specific projects
  • The number of people or households benefited by each project
  • The extent to which goals set forth in the Annual Action Plans were met
HUD 5-Year Consolidated Plan
The 5-Year Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive plan required by HUD. The plan is intended to identify needs within our communities and establish priorities for meeting those needs over a 5-year period. Much of the content in the "Con Plan" is prescribed by HUD.
