Emergency Operations Plan & Coordinator Establishment
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The housing commission lacks an agency-level Emergency Operations Plan and a dedicated emergency management coordinator, leaving residents dependent on county-wide notification systems not tailored to their needs. Recent tornado events and a state of emergency declaration underscore the operational and compliance risk of these gaps, particularly given NIMS requirements tied to preparedness funding.
The opportunity
NIMS compliance is a direct prerequisite for accessing preparedness funding, and aligned grant programs explicitly support alerting and emergency management initiatives. A near-term capital event creates a favorable procurement window, making this an ideal moment to close preparedness gaps and protect residents.
Direct Resident Emergency Notification System
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
AAHC currently depends on a county-wide mass notification system that may not reliably reach housing residents during emergencies, and the agency lacks its own EOP or dedicated EM coordinator. This gap creates direct resident safety risk and jeopardizes eligibility for preparedness funding requiring NIMS compliance.
The opportunity
Recent emergency declarations and an active grant window—including funding explicitly aligned with mass notification and emergency warning systems—create strong timing for action. Establishing a direct resident alert capability now advances NIMS compliance, closes a critical preparedness gap, and positions AAHC to compete for available state and federal emergency management funding.

Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The housing commission's Online Applicant Portal has identified WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility gaps, limiting equitable access for residents seeking housing services. Ongoing compliance pressure for public entities and a fragmented web and digital-services stack compound operational risk and administrative burden.
The opportunity
City-wide digital accessibility commitments and active recognition of this initiative create a near-term window for action ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps improves equitable service delivery, reduces compliance exposure, and may align with available cooperative procurement pathways to streamline execution.

Discuss this project →Fleet Vehicle Safety & Telematics Compliance
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
AAHC fleet vehicles currently lack dash cameras and telematics systems, despite an existing city-wide fleet safety policy — creating a documented gap in liability management and safety monitoring. Without visibility into vehicle operations, the agency faces elevated risk exposure and limited ability to enforce or demonstrate policy compliance.
The opportunity
Active fleet investment through an EV carshare initiative signals current budget and operational focus on transportation, creating a timely entry point for safety and tracking improvements. Addressing this gap now aligns with the city's safety policy, supports risk mitigation, and may be eligible for cooperative procurement vehicles to streamline acquisition.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Growing staff headcount and rising reimbursable IT charges signal increasing operational demand on the Commission's technology infrastructure, with no identified cybersecurity incumbent in place. The high-priority operational efficiency initiative underscores the need for structured IT management and security controls to protect resident data and ensure continuity of housing services.
The opportunity
Capital activity from affordable housing investments and a healthy budget environment create a favorable window to advance IT and cybersecurity improvements within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative procurement vehicles may reduce administrative burden, and eligible technology investments can align with operational efficiency mandates to strengthen public accountability and service delivery.
