Business Description
Carter Lard Consulting (CLC) is a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) providing comprehensive consulting, staffing, and community development solutions across the public and private sectors. With over 30 years of combined experience, our multidisciplinary team delivers targeted, measurable, and sustainable outcomes that empower communities, enhance compliance, and strengthen institutional performance.
As a certified MBE and DBE, CLC specializes in a wide range of staffing solutions and related services designed to meet complex workforce and organizational needs. Our staffing division provides temporary and executive staffing, payrolling, background checks, PEO (Professional Employer Organization) services, workforce development, and specialized workforce training. We staff across multiple sectors including accounting, clerical, administration, architecture and engineering, construction, healthcare, human services, case management, information technology, legal, and finance. This breadth allows us to deliver adaptable and scalable solutions to diverse clients, from small community programs to large-scale government contracts.
CLC is also a trusted provider of emergency housing, disaster recovery, and supportive housing programs. We coordinate mobile outreach, shelter management, and relocation services while integrating case management, mental health support, and substance use recovery programs. Our Supportive Housing and Wraparound Services extend to affordable and low-income housing initiatives and are designed to align with tax incentive programs such as ICAP (MBE), LIHTC, SLIHC, J-51, and 420/421. Through these programs, we help housing developers, property managers, and government partners meet their compliance, case management, and social service delivery requirements efficiently and compassionately.
In addition, CLC offers occupational health services, including the operation and staffing of workplace and community-based clinics. We support both preventive and responsive healthcare initiatives to improve workforce health, safety, and overall productivity. Our team’s expertise in mental health, substance abuse, and addiction recovery ensures that our workforce and case management programs maintain a holistic, person-centered approach that addresses both immediate needs and long-term outcomes.
CLC’s compliance, risk, and administrative management services help clients navigate the complex regulatory environments governing MWBE programs, labor laws, and public-sector contracting. We provide comprehensive compliance oversight, risk assessment, auditing, and regulatory reporting, ensuring transparency and accountability at every level. Our work with agencies such as DSS, OTDA, and DOHMH reinforces our reputation as a trusted partner in maintaining ethical and operational standards.
Through our business consulting, cost reduction, and strategic development services, CLC supports organizations in achieving operational excellence and procurement readiness. We assist with certifications, proposal development, bid preparation, vendor registration (SAM.gov, PASSPort, DSBS, SFS), and logistics management. Our consultants also guide clients in supply chain optimization, expense management, and financial strategy, driving efficiency and sustainability across all business operations.
CLC’s commitment to training, education, and capacity building further empowers MWBEs, nonprofits, and community-based organizations. We design and deliver custom training programs focused on compliance, leadership, workforce development, and procurement readiness — equipping our partners with the tools to compete effectively in government and private contracting arenas.
At its core, Carter Lard Consulting’s mission extends beyond business. We collaborate with community organizations, social enterprises, and workforce initiatives to revitalize underserved neighborhoods through fair employment, economic inclusion, and equitable access to opportunity. By integrating staffing, housing, compliance, and social service expertise, CLC creates sustainable pathways for communities to thrive socially, environmentally, and economically.
