FY24 CAPER

Click here to download the FY24 DRAFT Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

Annually, the City of Newton receives federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HOME funds are received on behalf of the WestMetro HOME Consortium, consisting of twelve other member communities - the Towns of Bedford, Belmont, Brookline, Concord, Lexington, Natick, Needham, Sudbury, Watertown, and Wayland and the Cities of Framingham and Waltham. To receive this funding, the City of Newton and the WestMetro HOME Consortium are required by HUD to prepare a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report, analyzing the progress made in achieving the goals set forth in the FY21-FY25 Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan outlines the strategies and goals Newton and the WestMetro HOME Consortium will employ for the use of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds.

The FY24 Sage Report consists of beneficiary data from the City’s five subrecipients for the seven FY24 ESG-funded activities. These reports are required to be submitted to HUD with the FY24 CAPER. 

The City of Newton and the WestMetro HOME Consortium are required to hold a public hearing on the report to solicit feedback and to ensure that grant funds are effectively spent to assist low- and moderate-income residents, as outlined in the Citizen Participation Plan. This public hearing will take place on September 10, 2024 at 7:00 pm virtually and in-person at the following locations:
