Cost Recovery Programs

Cost Recovery Programs are strategies that organizations use to recoup expenses they incur in providing certain services or resources, often related to public infrastructure or community development. These programs ensure that the costs of operations—such as maintenance, improvements, or environmental mitigation—are funded through fees, grants, or other revenue sources. Essentially, they help balance out the financial burden, making sure that the costs are paid by those who benefit or by dedicated funding sources, rather than being solely absorbed by the organization or taxpayer.
