Tu Hogar Renance STEP program

Egis team members provided program management services on the Tu Hogar Renace Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power (STEP) Program, the largest-ever STEP program for the PRDOH. Intake and eligibility determinations were made for 230,000 applicants and 108,000 applicants approved for temporary repair work. The 108,000 program participants, located across the entire island of Puerto Rico (78 municipalities), received home repairs over 16 months. Program execution reached over 700 homes completed daily, and the total cost is estimated at $1.68B.

The project included:

Liaison between FEMA, Governor’s Authorized Representative, Office of Inspector General, project oversight and all construction managers
Developed and executed a streamlined solution that managed the seven prime construction managers procured by Vivienda
Designed the project’s task order process to track, manage, and report on over 120,000 unique task orders
