In the wake of the devastating hurricanes Irma and Maria, AECOM was chosen to spearhead the vital task of providing free home repairs to 10,000 homeowners in the US Virgin Islands through the Emergency Home Repair (EHRVI) program. AECOM's objective is to maximize participation and ensure that every eligible home receives the necessary repairs. Achieving these program goals will not only solidify AECOM's position in the industry but also earn the trust and support of the community in their efforts to rebuild a more resilient territory.

Recognizing the importance of strategic planning, community advocacy, and training to the success of this endeavor, AECOM partnered with Fourth Strategies. Leveraging their expertise, Fourth Strategies provided invaluable support in areas such as strategic planning, community advocacy, training needs assessment, and curriculum development. Their collaborative efforts helped AECOM develop a comprehensive approach to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the EHRVI program.

Through this fruitful collaboration, AECOM and Fourth Strategies worked together to make a lasting impact on the US Virgin Islands. By delivering much-needed home repairs, AECOM is not only enhancing the lives of individual homeowners but also contributing to the broader economic development and resilience of the territory. The partnership between AECOM and Fourth Strategies demonstrates the power of strategic planning and community engagement in creating a more prosperous and sustainable future.
