2 Performance Report that covers CDBG-CV activities for the whole calendar year 2021 (Attachment 2). It is important to note that this Report has been updated since the January 18, 2022 BOCC meeting to include activities funded not only by the CDBG-CV grant funds, but also other funds leveraged through the EHA program in 2021 (CARES Act, ABPA, and local funds). The BOCC removed the Report from the Business meeting agenda on January 18, 2022 for discussion at a future meeting. In conversation with NC Department of Commerce, staff confirmed January 31, 2022 as the priority deadline for submission and the need for only the Board Chair's signature. Chair Price signed the required documents (Attached) and staff submitted the Report to Commerce. Questions remained from the January 18, 2022 BOCC meeting that staff wanted to clarify for the Board. Clarification of those questions and issues follow. In the Annual Performance Report (Attachment 2), the total number of households assisted in 2021 can be found at the bottom of the "Activity Indicators" section, in the "Actual (2021)" column under the "Public Service Program Indicators" block. The total number of households assisted was 707. On the following page, under the "Other Indicators: Accomplishments and Beneficiaries" section, there are two subsections that break down the total number of households assisted, by income level and race, respectively. In the "Income Levels" subsection, the numbers in each income category sum to equal the total number of households assisted (i.e., 573 extremely low-income households + 105 low-income + 29 moderate-income = 707 total households). Similarly, in the "Race" subsection, the numbers in the "Total" column sum to equal the total number of households assisted. This subsection is further broken out to show renters versus homeowners; the numbers in both the "Owner" and "Renter" sections must be summed to reach the total households assisted (i.e., 16 White homeowners + 31 Black homeowners + 2 Asian homeowners + 9 multi-racial homeowners + 179 White renters + 331 Black renters + 3 Asian renters + 3 American Indian/Alaskan Native renters + 133 multi-racial renters = 707 total households). Also of note, there is a column for Ethnicity, which is a subset of the "Total" column; so, for example, the 27 White and Hispanic renters shown in that table are a subset of the 179 total White renters. Additionally, any discrepancy between the year 2021 and 2020 was caused by an error with the Report template provided by Commerce. The Report information only pertains to 2021 grant funds and the date has been corrected.
