2024 Annual Recovery Plan Performance Report

The Project Inventory section provides details for each SLFRF investment budgeted through June 30, 2024, including project goals and performance indicators. The City’s SLFRF investments align with Federal priorities regarding community engagement and equitable outcomes. Throughout this report, the City identifies key examples of deep engagement with community to identify priorities for SLFRF funding, and ways that its SLFRF investments address long-standing inequities exacerbated by the pandemic. Investments in relevant expenditure categories use evidence-based practices that ensure positive outcomes and community impact. The City’s investments in deeply affordable housing for residents at 30% of Area Median Income and investments in youth employment programs highlight our commitment to community engagement, promoting equitable outcomes, and utilizing evidence-based practices. As community needs change, the City may adjust the amounts outlined between the priority areas, while remaining in alignment with Federal requirements.
