Solutient Signs Grant Management Contract with Orleans Parish Solutient has signed a contract with Orleans Parish to manage the preparation and submission of grant applications for the Severe Repetitive Loss program for funding years 2008 and 2009, as well as the management of the grant funds and implementation of the mitigation projects once funding is awarded.

Phase II, managing the grant funds and working with homeowners to get their homes elevated, will begin once FEMA awards funding.
Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority West Bank Solutient is proud to announce that we have been awarded the contract to completely overhaul the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority West Bank’s public website and intranet sites.
