City of Livermore FY 2024-25 CAPER 2 CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a) This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year. The City of Livermore’s Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for Fiscal Year 2024-25 outlines the Federal, State, and local funding sources allocated to address the priorities established in the five-year FY 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan for the Alameda County HOME Consortium, of which Livermore is a member jurisdiction. As a requirement of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), entitlement jurisdictions must prepare both a five-year Consolidated Plan, an annual Action Plan, and an annual CAPER to remain eligible for federal funding. For FY 2024-25, the City of Livermore Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation was $380,352. Additionally, the City designated $30,000 in prior year unspent funds toward the anticipated Section 108 loan repayment for the Emergency Shelter Rebuild project. As of June 30, 2025, the Section 108 loan has not been finalized; therefore, the allocated repayment funds will be expended in FY 2025- 26. In FY 2023-24, the City of Livermore allocated $283,846 for the demolition and reconstruction of an emergency shelter. Demolition activities were completed in September 2024, for a total of $182,000. The remaining $101,846 has been designated for the construction phase of the project, which is scheduled to begin in September 2025. The City’s federal HOME allocation for FY 2024-25 was $117,839 through the Alameda County HOME Consortium for two tenant based rental assistance programs. To enhance the impact of federal resources, the City allocated $310,000 in local Housing In-Lieu funds and $80,000 in General Funds to partner agencies delivering a range of supportive housing and social services for low-income residents of Livermore. Additionally, the City committed $176,149 in General Funds to support the ongoing operations of the Livermore Multi-Service Center. This facility serves as a hub for organizations that provide essential services to low-income individuals across the Tri-Valley region, including targeted support for unhoused community members. 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. 91.520(g) Categories, priority levels, funding sources and amounts, outcomes/objectives, goal outcome indicators, units of measure, targets, actual outcomes/outputs, and percentage completed for each of the grantee’s program year goals.ATTACHMENT 1 22
