ICF International awarded $23M disaster recovery contract

The Oregon Housing and Community Services Department recently awarded global consulting and technology services provider ICF a new contract to provide technology-enabled disaster management and program implementation services to support wildfire recovery efforts. The contract has a value of $23M and a term of 64 months, including a 16-month base and four one-year option periods. ICF will manage the state’s first-ever federally funded housing recovery programs designed to move wildfire survivors into safer, more energy efficient and resilient homes and will support infrastructure, planning and economic development initiatives. The company will leverage its proprietary cloud-based technology solutions, disasTRAX, to help the state distribute $341M in U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery funding in a fast, equitable and complaint manner. ICF will also support the development of Oregon’s statewide grant management system through its customizable data visualization system, Waypoint, to expedite environmental reviews.
