GOLETA, CA, September 4, 2025 – Every year, the City of Goleta looks forward to supporting those in need within our community through funds from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. This past year, more than 10,000 people were assisted with CDBG funding. The City is required to submit a year-end report on its accomplishments called the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The CAPER provides an assessment of the City's performance in meeting housing and community development goals in the adopted 2024-2025 CDBG Action Plan. The draft CAPER can be viewed on the City’s website at www.CityofGoleta.org/Grants .
Comments on the draft CAPER are being accepted during a public review period beginning today, September 4, 2025, and ending September 22, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. Comments should be submitted to: City of Goleta, Neighborhood Services Department, Attn: Cassidy Le Air, 130 Cremona Drive, Goleta, CA 93117 or emailed to CityGrants@cityofgoleta.gov .
