Our Process
A systematic approach to building or strengthening your CDBG-DR compliance framework.
Discovery & Assessment
We start with a free 30-minute consultation to understand your program structure, current compliance challenges, and specific regulatory concerns. This includes review of your Action Plan, grant agreement, and existing documentation systems.
Compliance Gap Analysis
We conduct a thorough assessment of your current compliance posture against HUD requirements, 2 CFR 200, and disaster recovery-specific regulations. You'll receive a detailed report identifying gaps, risks, and recommended remediation steps.
Solution Development & Implementation
Based on our findings, we develop customized policies, procedures, checklists, and templates. We work alongside your team to implement these systems, train staff, and establish quality control processes.
Ongoing Support & Monitoring
Compliance isn't one-and-done. We provide continued regulatory monitoring, Federal Register updates, and technical assistance as your program evolves or new HUD guidance is issued. Available on retainer or project basis.
Why CDBG-DR Compliance Matters
The stakes are high when managing federal disaster recovery funding.
The Risk of Non-Compliance
CDBG-DR programs operate under intense federal scrutiny. A Single Audit finding, HUD monitoring review, or OIG investigation can result in:
- Funding Clawbacks: HUD can recapture already-disbursed funds if compliance violations are discovered
- Program Delays: Unresolved audit findings can freeze new obligations and halt project timelines
- Reputational Damage: Public audit findings undermine stakeholder confidence and future funding opportunities
- Increased Monitoring: Non-compliance triggers enhanced federal oversight, requiring additional resources and reporting
Our approach: We help you build compliance into your program from day one—not after problems arise. With documented systems, trained staff, and audit-ready files, you'll have confidence that your disaster recovery program can withstand federal scrutiny while delivering results for your community.
