White Paper Details Steps to Maximize Effectiveness of Disaster Recovery Community Development Block Grants for Homeowners
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Agencies charged with distributing government aid to homeowners following tragic events such as hurricanes, floods or other disasters through Community Development Block Grants for Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), face numerous challenges to ensure assistance is properly awarded and efficiently delivered. A new white paper from Solix, Inc., available free-of-charge through the company's website, examines the challenges of effectively administering these funding initiatives and offers insights into best practices that can help maximize program success.
Establishing and managing homeowner CDBG-DR assistance can be difficult for agencies that are not accustomed to overseeing such programs. Typical requirements include having the infrastructure and procedures to determine eligibility, calculate awards, meet strict compliance as well as reporting measures, and maintain effective communications with enrollees throughout the application and funding process.
"Adding basic elements to the design of a CDBG-DR program can greatly enhance the delivery of much needed aid," said white paper author Donna Boyce, Solix Director of Recovery Programs. "Our paper emphasizes that an informed, step-by-step approach is essential to distributing funds correctly and in a timely manner to victims who need these programs to be successful."
Readers will receive insights into the eligibility process and the various components that can potentially impact process efficiency if not well executed. In addition, the white paper offers strategies for program design and communication even before the eligibility process begins.
