The purpose of the CAPER is to describe the activities undertaken during this time period using funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program, and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program. The projects/activities and the accomplishments which are described in the CAPER, principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons and the funding has been targeted to neighborhoods where there is the highest percentage of low- and moderate-income residents in the City of Pittsburgh. The following is the overall program narrative based on the Five Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans, as amended. A listing of the active projects is found in CR-95 – IDIS Reports of the document. The CAPER meets three (3) basic purposes: 1. It provides HUD with the necessary information for the Department to meet its statutory requirement to assess each grantee’s ability to carry out relevant CPD programs in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations. 2. It provides information necessary for HUD’s Annual Report to Congress, also statutorily mandated. 3. It provides grantees with an opportunity to describe to citizens their successes in revitalizing deteriorated neighborhoods and meeting objectives stipulated in the Five Year Consolidated Plan. The document provides information on how the funds received by the City through the various HUD programs were used, including an explanation on the leveraging and matching of these funds. The City of Pittsburgh continues to work cooperatively with the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh (URA), the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County Department of Economic Development, Allegheny County Department of Human Services, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of CommunityDRAFT & Economic Development (DCED) and a multitude of community based organizations and neighborhood groups to develop and implement programs that best serve the needs of its residents. The Five Year Consolidated Plan serves as the blueprint for these efforts and guides the City’s activities in the most effective and efficient manner possible. The following narratives, charts, and statistical reports demonstrate that the City of Pittsburgh is dedicated to serving its residents, particularly those of low- and moderate-income.
