CAPER (Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report)

The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is a report that organizations receiving government funding, like those working on community development or housing, submit yearly. It summarizes what they accomplished with the funds, such as improvements in neighborhoods or increasing affordable housing. The CAPER also reviews how well they met their goals and standards, providing transparency to the public and policymakers. Essentially, it’s a comprehensive review showing whether the organization effectively used resources to support community needs and how successful their efforts were during the year.
