Housing Needs Assessment
Every five years, the Community Development Division assesses the need and market for affordable housing in Asheville and our four-county Consortium region. The information from that assessment is used to develop priorities for the use of public funds to meet community affordable housing needs. Those priorities are a key element of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. The links below are to the sections of the Housing Needs Analysis and Market Assessment completed in December, 2009.
The CAPER
The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) describes the activities and accomplishments of the City of Asheville and the Asheville Regional Housing Consortium in their housing and community development programs. It focuses on how the City and the Consortium used federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Partnership Act (HOME) funds, but it also mentions other closely related activities.
