When a large disaster hits, the data collection and dissemination for damages for grant preparation can be overwhelming and require a lot of resources.

With the influx of state and federal funds to local communities, we understand there is a need for oversight to ensure that subrecipients are administering programs in accordance with policy and regulations. Our team is prepared to establish monitoring processes that validate grant compliance and provide information to stakeholders regarding grant expenditures.
We simplify the close-out process by preparing for close-out from day 1. We prepare grants in a manner that is “close-out” ready meaning we will package all required documentation to prepare you for audit and regulatory compliance reviews.
We acknowledge when clients repair and rebuild communities, environmental and historic preservation (EHP) concerns come into play with all federal funding, as certain requirements related to the environment must be fulfilled. We provide experienced engineers to help you better understand environmental factors that you must consider as you apply for grant funding. The information and assistance will help avoid any environmental roadblocks or time delays in the recovery process.
