Turning Recovery Priorities Into Programs That Deliver
Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding gives communities an opportunity to rebuild stronger, but translating recovery priorities into compliant, effective programs can be complex. Hagerty helps grantees move from planning through implementation, monitoring, and closeout—bringing together CDBG-DR expertise and practical recovery experience.
Recovery funding is only the beginning. Successful CDBG-DR programs turn community needs and recovery priorities into compliant, effective programs that deliver results.
Our approach connects strategy with implementation, providing support at each stage of program delivery.
| Assess & Design Translate community needs and recovery priorities into actionable programs, policies, and implementation plans. |
| Launch & Deliver Support the set-up and management of housing, infrastructure, mitigation, planning, and economic revitalization programs. |
| Manage & Monitor Strengthen performance, compliance, reporting, procurement, and subrecipient management throughout implementation. |
| Conclude & Sustain Prepare programs for monitoring and closeout while building systems and capabilities that support long-term resilience. |
