HUD REPORTS
The major planning document guiding ACDA spending is the Consolidated Plan (ConPlan). Communities must submit this plan no less frequently than every five years. The ConPlan serves two major functions. The first function is a consolidated application for each of the four entitlement grants. The second function of the ConPlan is to serve as a local planning process designed to provide jurisdictions the opportunity to establish local goals and a unified vision for using HUD funds over the next five years.
The City’s 2000-2005 Consolidated Plan set three strategic goals:
- to promote economic opportunity,
- decent housing
- suitable living environment
These goals will be met through funding activities that physically improve Albany neighborhoods through the construction, and renovation of housing and public facilities, while also providing additional opportunities to residents by sponsoring public services, public improvements, and job development activities.
Annually, prior to the expenditure of funds, the city must submit an Action Plan detailing what the agency plans to expend federal funds on in that particular year. All proposed activities must support the initiatives set forth in the Consolidated Plan. At the end of each program year, the City must submit a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) detailing the accomplishments of the year.
