The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) evaluates the County’s use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program funds for a fiscal year. The CAPER constitutes a summary of accomplishments and an accounting of the allocation and expenditure of funds under the Consolidated Plan, a 5-year comprehensive planning document that identifies Fairfax County’s overall needs for affordable and supportive housing, for homeless shelters and services, for community and economic development, and for building public and private partnerships.
