When disaster strikes, our team assists local, state, and nonprofit entities in applying for, receiving, and administering federal disaster grant funding. Our end-to-end management and support of the grants process will enable your organization to distribute critical funding to those that need it most and to close out grants efficiently, all while adhering to federal and local compliance requirements. We bring experience and expertise in a wide variety of federal aid and disaster relief programs including FEMA Public Assistance (PA), FEMA Individual Assistance (IA), FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), and HUD Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG).

We can also augment key positions alongside your entity’s emergency managers or financial directors in the Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs).
