Residents of Denton have until December 8 to weigh in on the city's performance in affordable housing and community development over the past year. The review period for the 2024–25 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) presents an opportunity for public engagement and input on how various federal grant programs have been managed and deployed by local authorities, according to a recent announcement made by the City of Denton.
The CAPER details the city’s use of funds from programs such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program, HOME-American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP), and the Community Development Block Grant–CARES Act (CDBG-CV); these programs are essential in addressing local housing needs and supporting community development efforts, and this report comes as part of the regulatory requirements set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In addition to fulfilling federal requirements, the CAPER also serves as a retrospective, evaluating the city’s progress towards the targets established in the 2023–2027 Consolidated Plan, states the City of Denton's official website.
For those interested in reviewing and commenting on the draft CAPER, feedback can be given through various channels including by email at [email protected], by mail at City of Denton – Community Development, 401 N. Elm St., Denton, TX 76201, or by phone at (940) 349-7726.
