Evaluating Our Performance - FY23-24 CAPER
Evaluating Our Performance - FY23-24 CAPER
The City of Austin Housing Department creates an annual report to show how federal funds are used. This report details the money spent and the number of households served. It's important for the community to see this report and understand the real impact of the funds. As we wrap up the last 5-year funding plan and start a new one, this page provides an opportunity to learn how federal funds were used locally over the past five years and to share stories about their impact.
How have you and your community been impacted by our programs?
Over the past five years, the City has invested in housing and public service programs with the support of annual federal grants. The charts below show how much money was spent for each program.
The Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report (CAPER) describes in detail how these funds were used over the past year. The public is invited to review the Draft FY 2023-24 CAPER during the public comment period: Monday, November 18, 2024 - Wednesday, December 4, 2024.

What is the CAPER?
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) assesses the City’s progress and the effectiveness of its performance related to its federally funded activities. A CAPER is required at the end of each year for all cities that receive federal funding. The FY 2023-24 CAPER evaluates the achievement of the City's overall strategies, objectives, and priorities outlined in the FY 2019-24 Consolidated Plan. The City will submit this report to HUD prior to December 29, 2024. The Draft FY 2023-24 CAPER is available for review during the public comment period.
