Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Houston Housing Authority faces an enforceable federal ADA mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 26, 2027, with DOJ enforcement risk if unmet. Current digital tools do not fully address remediation requirements, creating legal exposure for residents who depend on accessible housing services.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline is non-deferrable, and an active website modernization initiative with committed funding signals near-term procurement readiness. Texas DIR Cooperative Contracts provide a streamlined, compliant procurement path aligned with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The authority is actively remediating a ransomware attack, with identified gaps in multi-factor authentication, password management, and endpoint controls. A recent cybersecurity audit has confirmed ongoing risks, and HUD-driven corrective actions are mandating improved security processes and accountability measures.
The opportunity
HUD corrective action requirements and an approved FY 2027 Capital Fund Plan create immediate budget alignment for cybersecurity investments. HUD's Public Housing Capital Fund and Operating Fund are eligible funding paths, and Texas DIR Cooperative Contracts reduce procurement complexity and timeline.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority faces significant IT operational gaps, including fragmented endpoint management, low vulnerability remediation rates, and ongoing Microsoft 365 tenant consolidation. HUD-driven corrective action mandates are requiring measurable software improvements and stronger accountability controls, elevating both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2027 Annual PHA Plan and five-year Capital Fund Plan provide a funded pathway for IT modernization, with HUD's Public Housing Capital Fund eligible for computer equipment and network security investments. Acting within the current planning cycle aligns procurement with cooperative contract vehicles and corrective action timelines.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority's 16-vehicle fleet lacks dash cameras, GPS telematics, and driver-behavior monitoring despite a newly enacted fleet policy. Insurance non-renewal and a 30% cost increase signal direct financial and safety risk requiring immediate operational action.
The opportunity
Insurance-driven cost pressure and funded City fleet strategic initiatives create strong budget alignment and institutional readiness to act now. Federal Transit Administration funding offers a conditional path forward, and cooperative contract vehicles streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Emergency Preparedness & Continuity Planning
Emergency Management · Operational Continuity
High Priority
About this project
The City of Houston has no publicly identified Emergency Operations Plan or Continuity of Operations Plan, and dedicated emergency management staffing has been reduced to zero FTEs for FY2026. With recurring flooding, heat waves, and tropical storms, the absence of formal planning and operational support structures poses significant risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
Zero dedicated staffing and no formal EOP or COOP create urgent operational and compliance exposure ahead of the next emergency event. Federal preparedness funding streams may offset planning and implementation costs, making the current fiscal cycle a critical window for action.
