The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for Fiscal Year 2017-2018 is now available online. Every year, the City of Homestead is required to submit a report on Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) expenditures and progress, which is the CAPER.
The City of Homestead’s CDBG Program was established to address local housing and community development needs. It has been operated locally since 2008 when the City’s population reached 50,000, qualifying the City to receive CDBG funds directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The purpose of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for person of low and moderate income.
