Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Capital Area Michigan Works has an active RFP for website design and hosting with explicit WCAG compliance requirements and a June 2026 launch target. Hosted documents, including PDFs, also require accessibility remediation to meet ADA obligations and close service delivery gaps for residents and job seekers.
The opportunity
The June 2026 launch deadline creates a near-term procurement window aligned with current fiscal planning, and cooperative purchasing options offer a streamlined path for eligible government entities. Acting now reduces compliance risk and ensures equitable digital access to workforce services for all community members.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
CAMW lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented preparedness exercises, and an agency-level mass notification system — gaps that elevate operational and compliance risk. Without these foundational tools, the organization's ability to protect staff, clients, and continuity of services during an incident is critically limited.
The opportunity
Identified grant funding paths for emergency management create a timely, low-local-match opportunity to close these gaps within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now supports compliance, strengthens incident response, and safeguards the communities CAMW serves.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
CAMW currently lacks an agency-level mass notification system, leaving a critical gap in its ability to reach staff and constituents during emergencies. Without this capability, the agency faces elevated operational risk and lags behind neighboring jurisdictions with established emergency communication infrastructure.
The opportunity
Emergency management grant funding presents a viable path to address this greenfield need with reduced budget impact, aligning well with current funding cycles. Acting now closes a documented preparedness gap, strengthens community resilience, and positions the agency for compliance with emergency communication best practices.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The organization has identified critical gaps in endpoint security and identity protection, with no confirmed multi-factor authentication or endpoint detection and response capabilities in place. These gaps elevate operational and compliance risk across interconnected municipal systems and public-facing services.
The opportunity
Cybersecurity grant funding is available to offset MFA and EDR procurement costs, aligning with a positive near-term budget environment and an established cooperative purchasing path. Acting within the current grant window reduces exposure, strengthens resilience, and supports responsible stewardship of public IT investment.
