Case Study: New Jersey Department of Community Affairs delivers $7.2B in recovery funds with CGI's SIROMS

New Jersey Department of Community Affairs delivers $7.2B in recovery funds with CGI

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (NJDCA) faced a monumental challenge following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, needing to effectively manage and distribute $4.1 billion in federal recovery funds. The department required a strategic plan and a robust technological solution to handle the end-to-end process with transparency. CGI was engaged to help address this critical need.

CGI developed and implemented the State Integrated Recovery Operations and Management Systems (SIROMS) application. This solution automated funds disbursement, provided comprehensive tracking and reporting, and was later enhanced to support mobile inspections and online citizen applications. As a result, CGI helped NJDCA distribute over $7.2 billion in recovery funds, repair over 7,300 homes, and seamlessly manage reporting for more than 350 programs, proving the platform's value through subsequent disasters like Hurricane Ida and the COVID-19 pandemic.
