TITLE: Fiscal Year 2024-25 Consolidated Annual
Performance and Evaluation Report
(CAPER)
RECOMMENDATION
Receive public input and approve the draft Fiscal Year 2024-25 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report for the Community Development Block Grant and Home Investment Partnerships Program (Attachment 1 to the Council report) for submission to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this public hearing is for the City Council to receive public input on the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), as required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Upon Council approval, the CAPER will be submitted to HUD by the September 30, 2025 deadline.
Each fiscal year, the City, as a federal “entitlement jurisdiction,” directly receives CDBG and HOME funds from HUD to invest in qualifying activities in Mountain View. In addition to these annual allocations, un expended funds from prior years, as well as program income received through loan repayments from previously funded affordable housing projects , may be available to fund activities and projects.
1 The City is required to develop and submit an Annual Action Plan (AAP) to HUD that identifies the specific public services (provided by non-profit agencies) and capital projects (such as affordable housing projects) that will be funded with CDBG and HOME funds. These public services and capital projects must align with the goals and priorities identified in the City’s federally required five-year Consolidated Plan.
1 Unexpended income from prior years may be the result of cost savings or changes in scope that prevent previously allocated CDBG funds from being entirely spent within the expected timeframe.
Fiscal Year 2024-25 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) September 23, 2025
The Fiscal Year 202 4-25 Annual Action Plan was approved by the City Council at its meeting on April 23, 2024, and is part of the Fiscal Year 2020-25 Consolidated Plan period.
The CAPER is an annual report required by HUD that outlines the City's progress towards carrying out its Annual Action Plan. The CAPER provides an overview of major initiatives, an assessment of performance during the fiscal year, and an evaluation of progress towards meeting the goals and objectives in the Consolidated Plan. Th e Fiscal Year 202 4-25 CAPER summarizes the City’s CDBG and HOME accomplishments from July 1, 202 4, to June 30, 2025, and represents the fifth and final year of the 2020- 2025 Consolidated Plan. The draft Fiscal Year 2024-25 CAPER can be found in Attachment 1.
Per HUD requirements, a maximum of 20% of annual CDBG funding may be used for administrative costs, a maximum of 15% may be used for public services, and the remaining funds are for capital projects. Conversely, a maximum of 10% of the City’s annual HOME allocation may be used for administrative costs.
ANALYSIS
CDBG Summary
The total amount of CDBG funding anticipated to be made available for Fiscal Year 2024-25 outlined in the Annual Action Plan was $1,585,932. This funding was distributed as shown in Table 1 below.

Program/Project Funding Allocated
Capital Projects $ 1,156,964
Minor home repair program (Rebuilding Together Peninsula) 180,000 Public services (7 programs, listed in Table 3) 128,968 Administrative costs 120,000
TOTAL $ 1,585,932
The Annual Action Plan is typically drafted and approved before the City learns of its annual CDBG and HOME allocations. The initial funding anticipated and allocated often differs from the final amounts received or made available through the Fiscal Year. Consequently, for CDBG, the City received $604,684 in entitlement funds for Fiscal Year 2024 -25, had $725,248 in unexpended
2 The City supplements CDBG public services funding by providing an annual allocation of $171,000 from its General Fund to fund other critical public services that are not eligible for CDBG funding. Per HUD reporting requirements, the CAPER focuses on the CDBG-funded public services; hence, the $171,000 in City funding for public services is not reflected in the tables.

funds, and received $982,320 in Program Income , resulting in a total of $ 2,312,252. The total differs from the allocated amount that was anticipated, shown in Table 1, due to the City receiving $726,320 more program income after the conclusion of the Annual Action Plan process than anticipated.3
The City funds the public service agencies through a two-year funding cycle. Fiscal Year 2024-25 was the second of the two -year cycle. Due to the requests for CDBG public service funding for Fiscal Year 202 4-25 being oversubscribed, the City provided an additional $ 12,701 of General Funds on top of the $128,968 in CDBG funds for a total of $141,669 to support these CDBG public service agencies.
HOME Summary
As shown in Table 2 below, the total amount of HOME funding anticipated to be made available for Fiscal Year 2024-25 outlined in the Annual Action Plan was $1,073,782.
Table 2: Fiscal Year 2024-25 HOME Funding Allocated
Program/Project Funding Allocated
Capital Projects $ 1,050,004
Administrative costs 23,778
TOTAL $ 1,073,782
During the Fiscal Year, the City received $237,782 in HOME entitlement funds, $415,784 in HOME Program Income, and had $336,000 in unexpended funds, for a total of $989,566. Additionally, the Heartwood Apartments, formerly known as the Crestview H otel, was completed during the fiscal year which came in under budget. Therefore, even though the amount of $989,566 received during the fiscal year was less than the funding allocated amount of $1,073,782, the Heartwood cost savings allowed the total funding allocated to remain the same.

*Allocated amount in the adopted FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan. **Final allocated amount based on redistribution of funding originally allocated to LifeMoves program per above.
Over Fiscal Year 2024 -25, t he nonprofit public service agencies successfully expended nearly 100% of their CDBG funding on programs that assisted low - and moderate -income Mountain View residents and households . No expenditures were made for affordable housing capital projects because there were no eligible projects identified; however, these funds were carried over and have already been allocated to projects anticipated to begin in Fiscal Year 2025-26, including the MidPen affordable housing rehabilitation projects and the Lot 12 affordable housing development project.

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the Fiscal Year 202 4-25 CAPER for submission to HUD has no impact on the City’s General Fund. Meeting HUD reporting requirements will allow the City to continue to be eligible for future cycles of CDBG and HOME program funding.

The Levine Act is intended to prevent financial influence on decisions that affect specific, identifiable persons or participants.
