Government & Public Sector

Your Trusted Partner for Recovery and Mitigation

We’re here to help communities move forward—not just recover. YA Group aids government entities and public sector clients to break the response–recovery cycle by delivering end-to-end support from damage assessments to hazard mitigation.

Our team provides specialized public sector grant consulting with operational expertise in state and local hazard mitigation program administration, floodplain management activities, and agricultural disaster recovery programs. Our primary technical competency is in FEMA Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs—including HMGP, BRIC, and FMA—where we support applicants with end-to-end program lifecycle management.

Since 2018, YA has delivered strategic advisory services and staff augmentation for more than $5 billion in federal and state grant portfolios. Our support encompasses project scoping, BCA development and validation, environmental and historic preservation (EHP) compliance, 2 CFR Part 200 regulatory alignment, performance reporting, financial reconciliation, and closeout documentation. We maintain robust proficiency in federal pass-through grant management requirements and ensure adherence to all applicable FEMA, state, and local policy frameworks, guidance, and monitoring standards.

Who We Serve

YA partners with local governments to support every stage of grant administration—from application development and scope-of-work planning to budget creation, full project lifecycle management, and closeout. We manage a wide range of federally funded public works projects, including structural elevations, property acquisitions, demolitions and relocations, flood-risk-reduction initiatives, retrofitting, and code-plus compliance projects.

Client-Centered Service Delivery

Our staff bring extensive expertise across pre- and post-award project management, regulatory compliance, and process improvement—capabilities that consistently translate into high-quality outcomes and strong client satisfaction. Our team includes Certified Contract Managers (CCM), Certified Floodplain Managers (CFM), and Six Sigma practitioners who apply industry-leading best practices to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and dependable service delivery. With more than 20% of our staff fluent in a second language and cumulative proficiency in nine languages, we are equipped to communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders and enhance client experience.

Our team’s depth of knowledge in management consulting, combined with a steadfast commitment to responsiveness, transparency, and continuous improvement, ensures clients receive tailored solutions that meet their immediate priorities and strengthen long-term outcomes.
