Housing Inspection Services Program (CONUS/OCONUS)
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
About the project
FEMA awarded the $163M Housing Inspection Services (HIS) contract in 2013 to provide emergency aid grants to survivors whose homes were affected by presidentially declared emergencies or natural disasters.
Vanguard provides FEMA with a nationwide cadre of trained and disaster-ready independent inspectors who mobilize on short notice to examine housing situations and provide immediate relief to affected homeowners. Providing housing inspections for over 50% of HIS task orders, the team handled concurrent disasters in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Florida, Texas, California, and the Midwest. Vanguard successfully coordinated with FEMA and other agencies to deploy inspectors and set up control and adjudication centers in challenging environments.
