Shelby County Department of Housing (SCDH) is preparing its Consolidated Annual Performance Report (CAPER) for the program year that began July 1, 2016 and ended June 30, 2017. The CAPER is required by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) to describe CDBG and HOME activities undertaken by SCDH to address housing and community development needs, especially in low- and moderate-income areas of Shelby County, outside the City of Memphis. SCDH is also proposing to amend its Citizen Participation Plan required at 24 CFR 91.105 Citizen participation plan for local governments.
SCDH utilized approximately $821,534 in Community Development Block Grant funds and $82,947 in HOME funds for the following activities: low-to-moderate income housing rehabilitation and minor home repair; infrastructure/community development improvements to benefit low-to-moderate communities within the Urban County; fair housing activities; administrative expenses; and program delivery costs.
The CAPER will be available for public review from Friday, September 8, 2017 through Monday, September 25, 2017 and the proposed Citizen Participation Plan will be available for review from Friday, September 8, 2017 through Monday, October 9, 2017 at the office of SCDH (1075 Mullins Station Rd., Memphis, TN 38134), the Arlington Public Library, the Collierville Public Library, the Germanton Public Library, the Millington Public Library, and the following branches of the Memphis & Shelby County Public Library: Benjamin L.
