The Citizens’ Advisory Committee for Community Development (CACCD) will hold a public hearing on the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for fiscal year 2023 at 6 p.m. on Sept. 12 in the 2nd Floor West Conference Room of the Busch Municipal Building, located at 840 N. Boonville.

In accordance with ADA and LEP guidelines, individuals requiring special accommodations to attend any City meeting should notify the City Clerk’s office at 417-864-1443 at least three working days prior to the scheduled meeting for assistance.

Following presentations during the meeting, any person or organization wishing to comment on the report will have an opportunity to do so.

The CAPER will be available for public review and comment from Sept. 11-26 online and in paper form at the offices of the City’s Planning and Development Department in the Busch Municipal Building, as well as at any Springfield-Greene County Library branch within Springfield city limits. Comments can be emailed to Bob Atchley at [email protected] or by calling 417-864-1031.

The City of Springfield is required to develop and publish the CAPER annually to report how federal funds from the Community Development Block Grant and HOME programs were used to address goals and strategies outlined in its Consolidated Plan for the past program year (July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024).

CAPERs are mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and provide a yearly accounting of Community Development Block Grant and other federal funds allocated toward projects detailed in the City’s five-year Consolidated Plan. Grantees report on accomplishments and progress toward Consolidated Plan goals.
