What Bailey Boyd Associates does

Bailey Boyd Associates (BBA) is a boutique community development consulting firm founded in 1994 by Alice Boyd and headquartered in Scituate, Massachusetts. The firm specializes in grant writing, grant administration, compliance consulting, project management, municipal procurement, and community housing development for municipal and non-profit clients. Since inception, BBA reports securing over $140 million in state and federal funds for clients through programs such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HUD initiatives, with programs consistently passing fiscal and program audits without findings. Core offerings include compliance training and manual authoring, RFP/RFQ preparation and evaluation, Licensed Construction Supervisor monitoring for municipal construction projects, and administration of CDBG-funded childcare subsidy programs serving low-to-moderate-income families across Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Randolph.

BBA's service portfolio spans grant research and writing, compliance consulting and staff training, full-cycle project management (including construction monitoring and payment approval), municipal procurement services, and affordable housing development (elder housing, first-time homebuyer programs, 40B/LIP developments). The firm's underlying technology includes a cloud-based paperless grant management system created by President Cassie Boyd Marsh and implemented across numerous communities. BBA derives revenue from professional services fees billed to municipal and non-profit clients through direct engagement; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based per engagement. GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven, with leadership personally maintaining municipal relationships across more than a dozen Massachusetts towns. The firm serves municipalities, housing trusts, community development corporations, tribal councils, and select institutions such as the City of Boston and Harvard University. BBA remains founder-owned, privately held, and operates with 1-10 employees.
