Title
Resolution Approving the Town of Castle Rock’s 2022 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report for CDBG
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
In September 2020, Town Council accepted entitlement status into the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program beginning in fiscal year 2021. The Town’s second CDBG program year began on October 1, 2022 and ended on September 30, 2023. The Town of Castle Rock was allocated $244,728 to distribute in this program year. After the end of each program year, the Town is required to complete a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the previous program year. Staff is seeking Town Council direction on a resolution (Attachment A) approving Castle Rock’s Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for program year 2022.
Staff engaged a consultant (Civitas, LLC) to develop the 2022 CAPER as required by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CAPER provides annual information on program accomplishments in meeting the program’s performance outcomes. The Town is required to report on the activities undertaken annually. The full draft of the Town’s Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report is available in Attachment B.
This Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report is required to be submitted to HUD by the December 29, 2023 deadline.
Budget Impact
CDBG is a reimbursable grant program. Any Town projects would be reimbursed as approved. Additionally, up to 20 percent of CDBG funding is available for administration costs associated with running the CDBG program and are reimbursable. All administrative costs to date have been covered by the program.

Staff recommends approval of Castle Rock’s 2022 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report.
