Apply Now: Funding Opportunity for Engineering Firms to Conduct Flood Resilience Audits

Work with the FloodHelp NY Resiliency Audit Program.

We are no longer accepting proposals for this project.

The Center for NYC Neighborhoods is seeking proposals from licensed engineering firms to support our ongoing efforts to protect New York City homeowners from flooding and storm-related damage.

Through the FloodHelp NY Resiliency Audit Program, selected engineering vendors will provide home elevation measurements, customized flood resilience recommendations, and — where eligible — elevation certificates for 105 residential properties across the five boroughs. This work will help low- and moderate-income homeowners understand their flood risk and identify steps to make their homes more resilient.

About the Opportunity

Thanks to funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), the Center is able to offer this opportunity as part of our mission to build more climate-resilient communities.

Selected firms will be responsible for:

• Conducting home site visits and elevation measurements
• Preparing Elevation Certificates (where applicable)
• Assessing potential flood mitigation interventions
• Completing standardized audit reports
• Collaborating with Center staff and referred homeowners

This work builds on the Center’s successful pilot programs and will serve homeowners impacted by Hurricane Ida and other storm events — including those outside traditional coastal flood zones.
