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 how much federal funding was spent over the past year, and how well the programs performed in terms of households served and housing units produced. It's important for the community to see this report and understand the real impact of the funds. This page provides an opportunity to learn how federal funds were used locally over the past year and to share stories about their impact. Previous performance reports and action plans can be found online.

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.
