Case Study: City of North Las Vegas distributes CARES Act funds faster with SimpliGov

City of North Las Vegas distributes 83% of CARES Act funds in less than three weeks with SimpliGov

The City of North Las Vegas needed to quickly distribute $23.8 million in federal CARES Act aid to its residents and small businesses. The challenge was converting a paper-based grant process to a fully digital one to meet strict requirements while staff and citizens were remote, and they had no time for a lengthy implementation. They partnered with vendor SimpliGov to implement a digital forms and workflow solution.

SimpliGov provided an online application form accessible from any device, which included a Spanish-language option and a portal for document uploads. The solution automated application routing and provided a central dashboard for staff to track submissions. As a result, the city distributed 83% of its funds, the highest rate in Nevada, delivering nearly $20 million to the community and saving over 400 personnel hours. SimpliGov enabled the entire process to be built and launched in less than three weeks.
