Government Impact
State and local government officials planning to use federal infrastructure funds should consider ways to mitigate fraud, waste, and abuse during project implementation. Learn oversight and monitoring tips from our Construction Practice Leader, Jack A. Callahan, CPA and Partner, and Ronald Frazier, Senior Manager and lead of Government Advisory’s compliance, monitoring, and oversight team.
To coincide with March’s “Women’s History Month” and “International Women’s Day,” our Government Advisory team launched a “Women in Emergency Management” video series featuring esteemed females within the industry. Watch the series for thoughtful insights and tips for women entering the field.

As a result of CohnReznick assisting the Texas Department of Housing & Community Affairs with their application processes for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP), the U.S. Treasury’s $25 billion fund to assist households unable to pay rent and utilities due to COVID-19, the Texas ERAP committed over 95% of its program funding, served more households (over 300,000), and provided more relief funds (over $1.9) than any other state. We thank our dedicated staff who helped hundreds of families remain in their homes in this video.
