Witt O’Brien’s, LLC, (“Witt O’Brien’s”), a subsidiary of SEACOR
Holdings Inc. (“SEACOR”), announced today that it has assisted more
than 68,000 households with emergency rental assistance
applications representing nearly $250 million in disbursed aid.
Since the launch of the U.S. Department of the
Treasury’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) in January
2021, Witt O’Brien’s has been actively working with state entities,
large local governments, and numerous small-to-mid sized
grantees.
“We are proud to be part of such a critically
important, national effort to keep at-risk populations safely
housed,” says Brad Gair, Senior Managing Director at Witt
O’Brien’s. “Whether we are involved from initial program start up,
or step in to accelerate existing efforts, our goal is to help our
clients distribute these funds as rapidly as possible and pre-empt
a sharp rise in nationwide evictions as moratoriums expire.”

lifecycle program management as well as individual solutions,

centers, case management support, application management software,
and application review, among others. Witt O’Brien’s is also
