Mass Notification System for Housing Commission Residents
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Housing Commission currently relies on separate email and waitlist channels for resident communications, disconnected from city-wide alerts, creating critical gaps in emergency notification coverage. A recently adopted Disaster Preparedness & Response Plan mandates annual review and HUD/FEMA compliance, explicitly requiring an enterprise mass-notification solution.
The opportunity
BRIC grant funding is a direct fit for mass-notification systems, and cooperative purchasing agreements provide accessible, compliant procurement paths to act within the current planning cycle. Addressing this gap now closes a documented compliance risk, strengthens resident safety, and aligns with the plan's annual review mandate.
Emergency Preparedness Exercise Program & Compliance Documentation
Emergency Management · HUD/FEMA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Commission's Disaster Preparedness & Response Plan mandates annual drills and After Action Reviews, yet no documented HSEEP-style exercises or completion records exist. This gap creates measurable compliance and operational risk under HUD/FEMA requirements, leaving residents and staff underprotected.
The opportunity
The plan's annual review cycle creates an immediate, recurring window to close documentation and exercise gaps before the next compliance checkpoint. Grant funding through HSGP and BRIC is directly applicable, reducing local budget burden while advancing resident safety and HUD/FEMA readiness.
Cybersecurity and Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Commission faces active compliance mandates requiring maintained backups and continuity measures, with gaps in endpoint management and credential security creating operational exposure. A city-level cyber incident could further pressure the organization to demonstrate a defensible cybersecurity posture to regulators and residents.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding has been identified as a potential match for both endpoint management and password security initiatives, offering a viable budget pathway within current grant cycles. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance risk, strengthens continuity, and aligns with responsible stewardship of public housing resources.
Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The Commission currently lacks evidence of website accessibility compliance, creating legal exposure under federal accessibility mandates and limiting equitable access to public housing information for residents with disabilities. A documented strategic initiative around digital presence signals organizational awareness, but no remediation is yet underway.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding presents a viable pathway to offset accessibility remediation costs within the current grant window, reducing financial barriers to compliance. Acting now aligns with the Commission's stated digital presence initiative and mitigates growing regulatory and reputational risk.
