City officials have put out the word: it's time for Clevelanders to weigh in on how their federal development dollars are being spent. A draft of the Department of Community Development's 2024 Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) is currently available for public review.
This report crucially maps out the strides made by the City of Cleveland in achieving the benchmarks set by the 2021-2025 Consolidated Plan, detailing the disbursement and utilization of federal funds over the past program year.
Transparency is key in the operations of local government, and this window into the City's financial choices offers citizens a chance to hold bureaucrats accountable. The Department of CD isn't just posting the CAPER as a formality – they're actively seeking public comments until Thursday, August 28th. Whether through email at [email protected] or by calling 664-4000.
