Grant Management Guidance

Subrecipient Enterprise Resource Application

Welcome to the grant management system for the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). The system allows Subrecipients to sign and view their contracts and submit performance and financial reports online.

The Florida Department of Commerce (FloridaCommerce) launched the Subrecipient Enterprise Resource Application (SERA) system on April 2, 2018, and will phase out the previous grant management system accessed through eGrants. The old system is available for historical data.
