FAIRFAX, Va., July 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Government of Puerto Rico's Department of Housing (PRDOH) recently awarded global consulting and digital services provider ICF (NASDAQ:ICFI) a $13 million contract amendment to expand the implementation of the agency's Single Family Rehabilitation, Reconstruction & Relocation Program (R3).
