The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) grant are programs administered through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The programs provide funding in support of low and moderate-income persons and neighborhoods in Westminster. The grant amounts are based on population size and the number of low- to moderate-income persons residing in the community. Any project or program funded with these federal dollars must meet specific eligibility criteria set by HUD, address a community need, and meet a national objective of the program.

Seeking input on the City’s 2019 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER)
The City will file the 2019 CDBG Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluative Report (CAPER) with HUD in February and is required to provide the draft report for citizen review for a minimum of 15 days.
The CAPER is the report of the City’s accomplishments under the Annual Action Plan (AAP) during the previous year and details the expenditures to achieve program goals. Given the Covid-19 pandemic response efforts during 2020, the CAPER due date was extended past the normal filing date. The CAPER will be available for public review and comment through February 12, 2021.
The CAPER public review process is outlined in the City’s 2020-2024 Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) which may be found below.
Given that many City facilities remain closed to the public at this time, a print version of the entire CAPER, including the text and all IDIS data printouts, will be provided upon request.
All comments received will be reported to HUD and considered by the City CDBG staff as input to future program efforts.
Staff welcomes your questions and comments! To submit comments by email: CDBG@CityofWestminster.us, or you may leave a voice message at 303-658-2414.

In December 2020, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) completed a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Part 50 environmental review of the site in anticipation of application to HUD for approval to use federal funds for the development. This review requires the City to perform site clean-up that is detailed in a Voluntary Clean Up Plan (VCUP). The VCUP is overseen by environmental engineers and each activity is documented and reported to the Colorado Department of Housing and Urban Development (CDPHE).
Additionally, the State of Colorado has been performing groundwater monitoring and mitigation at the site for the past decade. The purpose of the State monitoring is to determine the extent of a plume of contaminated groundwater created by an historic underground storage tank associated with a gasoline station operated on the north-west corner of the intersection. The ground water contamination has been tracked and monitored and will be mitigated during development. Any housing built on the site will be served by City water, so the groundwater will not be a factor in the use of the site.
The City will complete demolition and site clean-up on the three parcels located on the south-west corner of West 73rd Avenue and Lowell Boulevard between March and July 2021. The clean-up process includes asbestos abatement during the initial deconstruction of the buildings, demolition of structures on site, removal of all debris and soils testing in compliance with required environmental remediation.
The associated environmental assessment documentation is posted below.
