CPD Annual Reporting Requirements

HUD and its Community Planning and Development (CPD) formula grant program grantees will be transitioning to a new Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). All Entitlement grantees should be using the system to track disbursements and report performance on outputs and outcomes for the program year. Grantees must report on program year accomplishments, outcomes, and performance, and Field Office staff subsequently must review that performance.

Beginning October 1, 2006, each Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) or Performance and Evaluation Report (PER) should include the status of the grantee's efforts toward implementing performance measurement system requirements described in the Federal Register Notice dated March 7, 2006. All CAPER or PER reports should provide a description of how the jurisdiction's or State's program provided new or improved availability/accessibility, affordability, sustainability of decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunity. The CAPER/PER must include a comparison of the proposed versus actual outcomes for each outcome measure submitted with the consolidated plan and explain, if applicable, why progress was not made toward meeting goals and objectives.
