DCR requires a centralized, modern grant management system to support the administration of complex, large-scale funding programs such as Community Development Block Grant–Disaster Recovery (CDBGDR). DCR’s current reliance on disconnected systems and manual processes makes it difficult to efficiently manage high volumes of applications, monitor program performance, ensure timely payments, and meet rigorous compliance and reporting requirements. These limitations increase the risk of delays, data errors, and communication gaps with grantees, contractors, and stakeholders. To address these challenges, DCR seeks a flexible, user-friendly solution that streamlines workflows, automates key functions, centralizes data, and integrates with the North Carolina Financial System (NCFS). The system must support end-to-end grant management, enhance transparency, and scale effectively to meet future program needs across a variety of funding sources.
