What is the CAPER?
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is the year-end report that is an evaluation of the progress made in carrying out the community development programs and activities identified in the Annual Action Plan (AAP). Harris County uses the CAPER to inform the public how entitlement funds have been expended and it highlights successes in addressing its 5-year priorities and objectives contained in the Consolidated Plan. It also contains details on activities funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). Finally, the CAPER provides data on units completed, number and type of individuals assisted, dollar amounts expended, sources of funds used and other relevant data.
