Nathan Freeman, Director of Development Services
Eydee Jimenez, Economic Development Supervisor
SUBJECT:
PY 2024-2025 Community Development Block Grant, Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council conduct a public hearing and upon accepting public testimony: 1) Approve the 2024-2025 Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (“CAPER”); and 2) Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to submit the 2024-2025 CAPER to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), along with any public testimony and changes directed by the City Council.
BACKGROUND
HUD requires the City to prepare and submit a CAPER describing progress toward the goals established in the 2024-2025 Action Plan that was approved by the City Council on April 2, 2024. The CAPER must be submitted to HUD on or before September 28, 2025, to comply with HUD regulations found at 24 Code of Federal Regulations 91.520. The 2024-2025 CAPER was prepared and made available for the 15-day public review and comment period, which began on August 31, 2025, and concluded on September 16, 2025.
During the 2024-2025 program year, the City received $972,781 in CDBG funds to be awarded to activities that meet the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan Strategic Plan goals. This was the fifth year of the City’s five-year 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan cycle. The following are the 2024-2025 activities and their funding levels: 1) 2024-2025 Street Improvement Project $810,781, 2) Fair Housing $22,000, and 3) Administration of the program $140,000.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Prior to the commencement of the 15-day public review period, the City published a notice in the Victorville Daily Press (English and Spanish) informing the public that the City had prepared the Draft 2024-2025 CAPER and of its availability for review and comment until September 16, 2025. The public was informed of the opportunity to provide oral and/or written comments on the CAPER. As of the writing of this report, no public comments have been received.
The accomplishments for this year include:
Funding of fair housing and landlord tenant mediation services provided by Inland Fair Housing and Mediation Board (IFHMB) who were able to assist 290 unduplicated City residents (62 Fair Housing and 228 Landlord Tenant Mediation).
Completion of the 2021-2022 Street Improvement Project, assisting approximately 6,000 unduplicated City residents.
Commencement of design and engineering on Oakwood Street as part of the 2023-2024 Street Improvement Project.
Commencement of design and engineering of the 2024-2025 Street Improvement Project.
Funding of 10 public service agencies (food banks, senior/disabled adult services, shelter and shelter services, veteran services, etc.) through the City’s Community Assistance Program (CAP), which collectively assisted 6,552 City residents.
A more detailed explanation of accomplishments can be found in the attached Draft Program Year 2024-2025 CAPER.
CITY GOAL SUPPORTED BY THIS ITEM
Future Development - Facilitate balanced growth to ensure cohesive community development and pursue economic development.
FISCAL IMPACT
Presently, there is no fiscal impact. The City is required to submit the 2024-2025 CAPER to HUD to report on the annual accomplishments and expenditures during the program year. Although the submittal of the CAPER has never resulted in a fiscal impact to the City, failure to submit the CAPER to HUD in a timely manner could result in non-compliance with CDBG regulations, which has potentially led to future financial sanctions.
ALTERNATIVE(S)
Provide alternative direction to staff.
