RTAPP is funded by the New York Governor’s Office of
Storm Recovery (GOSR) through a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD). Addressing a common
need post-Superstorm Sandy across multiple New York Rising Community
Reconstruction (NYRCR) communities, RTAPP was devised to ensure that qualifying
residential property owners have the tools and capacity to retrofit residential
structures in a resilient and sustainable manner. This program will deliver
assistance to approximately 1600 residential properties, ranging from single-family
homes to residential towers, located in Canarsie, Gravesend and Bensonhurst,
Howard Beach, Lower Manhattan, Red Hook, Rockaway East, and Southeast Brooklyn
Waterfront.
We assisted the Center with the services necessary for
completing residential resilience audits and administration of this program in
accordance with HUD and GOSR requirements and timetables. We worked
collaboratively with staff from the Center, as well as other subcontractors,
including a designer and web developer for housing a resilience and flood insurance
calculation web platform, a firm providing multi-family specific resilience technical
assistance, and multiple firms providing resilience technical assistance
counseling to owners of properties, based on the recommendations of our audits.
