The City of Asheville’s Community and Economic Development (CED) Department has published the Draft Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report (CAPER) on the City website for public comment.
The City’s Community Development Division within CED reports on accomplishments and progress towards the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan goals in the CAPER.
The Consolidated Plan is a five-year plan designed to help states and local jurisdictions assess their affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. This plan sets out regional priorities for the next five years and is carried out through the Annual Action Plan, which provides a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that will be used each year to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the Consolidated Plan.
