Without visibility into your grants’ return on investment (ROI), you may be unable to measure their performance accurately.

Grant portfolios contain many moving parts, which is why your organization should store them in a centralized environment to ensure efficient tracking and management.

Though regulatory compliance is crucial for housing organizations, complying with reporting requirements can be challenging due to their ever-changing nature.

Combining paper and digital record-keeping solutions to monitor grant data can lead to inefficient tracking.

Although many housing and development groups still use obsolete legacy systems for grant management, these older solutions typically lack the reporting capabilities to handle these tasks.

Miscommunications can occur when your organization’s internal and external parties try to share information, leading to inaccuracies in your grant data.
