A Word from Our Clients

Franklin Associates delivered top-notch quality service and innovative training. Across the board, we are pleased with their contributions to the team and are excited to have them partnering with some of our local governments as we move forward. Their efforts in our Community Training sessions in particular illustrated their attention to detail and concern for quality. It’s their creativity and diligence that made these sessions such a success.

Amanda Thorin
Sustainable Development Program Specialist - H-GAC TX

I want to tell you how much the Call Center is appreciated by HGA and everyone working on ERAP. They always go above and beyond to help the Community Partners and HGA. The Call Center has one of the hardest jobs as they are on the front line dealing with frustrated renters and landlords.

Marjorie Torres
Project Manager – HGA

The Franklin team has been flexible, responsive, and professional to the needs of the MOVEBR Program. They are a valued partner and I am glad they are on our team.

Travis Woodard
P.E Executive Vice President of Project Delivery - CSRS, Inc

Franklin Associates went above and beyond in the quality and innovation of community engagement services they brought to our team for the Just Imagine SWLA 50-year Resilience Master Plan process. They were creative, flexible, and collaborative in their approach and served the client with professionalism and expertise. Franklin is highly skilled in engaging at the regional scale—they ensured that messaging was clear and developed a layered system to bring information to people in a fun and inspirational way. We would love to work with the Franklin team again in the future!

The Louisiana Office of Public Health engaged Franklin to help us develop a one-of-its-kind program to engage young people and encourage them to promote the COVID-19 vaccination to their friends and family. Building the program from the ground up, the Franklin team recruited more than 900 young people in its first eight months. We are confident the framework developed by Franklin and OPH will serve as a nationwide model for other states and health departments who are seeking innovative ways to reach young people.

Bob Johannessen
Former Communication Manager - Louisiana Office of Public Health

You are an amazing group of talented professionals. I was so honored to team up on this project with people who are collectively using their gifts and talents to uplift Louisiana's families in a very tangible way. Thanks for every step you've taken to be there through this noble work.
