Kinetech, a low-code pioneer with leading capabilities in cloud applications and digital transformation, together with the State of Michigan, announced today that they have distributed over $350 Million in COVID relief funds to Americans financially impacted by the pandemic.

LANSING, Mich., Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kinetech, a low-code pioneer with leading capabilities in cloud / digital transformation, and the State of Michigan, today announced they have distributed over $350 Million in COVID relief funds by implementing the Kinetech GovTech Cloud - a low-code template for digitizing paper processes and streamlining case management. This now puts the State of Michigan within the top 10 States for funds distributed according to the US Treasury Department.
"Kinetech's GovTech platform allowed us to get up and running quickly and their team has been very responsive to our changing needs as the program evolved," said Kelly Rose, Chief Housing Solutions Officer. " They have provided a seamless way to monitor our grantees performance and ensure people across the state are being served quickly and efficiently."
This is in stark contrast to other jurisdictions. "According to the Associated Press, as of October state and local governments had distributed between 2.5 - 8.5% of the initial allotment distributed by Congress" said Aja Emmanuel, Director of GovTech Sales at Kinetech. To accelerate the distribution of funds, we have streamlined the procurement process through a ride-along clause for interested state and municipal leaders.
The Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) has been live on Kinetech's GovTech Cloud since April, providing a single digital experience for its citizens, employees, and partners. Together, these solutions create an agile, scalable, single end-to-end platform for MSHDA and its 50+ subrecipient agencies and their 1500 employees.
The execution of the cloud-first transformation was led by Kinetech, leveraging its Digital Execution Strategy, Mendix / lowcode expertise, and proven track record of helping organizations optimize and digitize their processes. The entire implementation was run remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating the efficacy of Mendix / low-code software and Kinetech's proven process.
"Regardless of geographic location, the fact remains that governments who embrace digital solutions to handle urban growth are the most successful at providing services on-time and at scale," said Michael Guido, CEO of Kinetech Cloud. "MHSDA's successful cloud implementation helps it deliver a secure, mobile-first, and intuitive experience while complying with federal reporting requirements."
