Federal and State Grant Administration

CRA of Florida, over the last 14 years, has developed a proven system to administer federal and state grants in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Federal and state grant programs play an essential role in community development in South Florida. Grant programs that we specialize in are the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnership (HOME) and the State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP). The company’s principals have been instrumental in shaping many of the regulations that guide these federal and state grant programs. CRA of Florida has worked with small cities and larger entitlement communities throughout the state of Florida in various capacities. Some of our state and federal grant related services include:
