DISCUSSION
Background
The City of Stockton is an entitlement community under HUD’s Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD), receiving annual formula grant allocations under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Programs. As a condition to participate and receive these entitlement program funds, the City must develop a series of plans and reports including a five-year Consolidated Plan that establishes goals and five-year objectives informed by a series of market analysis and community needs assessments, followed by annually submitting an Annual Action Plan (AAP) for each HUD Program Year which outlines the use of HUD funds to address community needs. Following the closing of each Program Year, recipients must develop and submit the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), providing a year-end report on the implementation of the AAP and the City’s progress in meeting the Consolidated Plan goals.
The CAPER describes activities undertaken by the City during the HUD Program Year 2024-2025, beginning July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025, using CDBG, ESG, and HOME funds. These programs fund community development efforts to improve housing and opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents of the City.
