Mass Notification System Emergency Replacement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A November 2025 cyberattack decommissioned the city's mass notification system, eliminating the Housing Commission's primary tool for alerting residents and staff. With no operational backup and no published EOP, the agency faces significant compliance gaps under NIMS/EOP mandates and elevated risk to public safety.
The opportunity
Multiple aligned grant programs with upcoming deadlines offer a clear, time-sensitive funding path requiring limited local match. Acting within the current grant window closes a critical alerting gap, advances NIMS compliance, and restores emergency communications before the next severe weather or crisis event.
Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Housing Commission lacks a published Emergency Operations Plan, with no documented review cycles or preparedness grant history. A recent cyberattack that decommissioned the city's mass notification system has elevated operational risk and exposed significant NIMS compliance gaps.
The opportunity
Multiple grant programs aligned with emergency communications and preparedness have upcoming deadlines, offering a clear funding path with limited local match. New executive leadership and an active compliance mandate create a timely window to close critical gaps and restore operational resilience.
Cybersecurity and Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recent cyberattack exposed critical gaps in password management and endpoint security, with no specific password standards in current policy. Reliance on shared city digital services may leave housing-specific systems underprotected, elevating operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Post-incident board awareness and an existing annual IT budget of over $106,000 create a timely opening to redirect resources toward critical security gaps. The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG grant offers a potential funding pathway, aligning investment with the current urgency and fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
No dashcam or telematics deployment has been identified for the fleet, leaving safety gaps unaddressed amid rising insurance costs sector-wide. A limited transportation budget compounds the risk, while a three-year transit software contract and CDBG-funded senior transportation services signal growing operational complexity.
The opportunity
An active SMART grant request and CDBG Annual Action Plan provide concrete funding pathways for transit and senior transportation improvements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the agency to reduce liability exposure, improve service accountability, and leverage cooperative purchasing to streamline procurement.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Housing Commission's website and CMS rely on city shared services that may not meet current WCAG/ADA accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access for residents—including seniors dependent on Housing Commission programs. Compliance gaps represent a non-discretionary risk requiring structured remediation.
The opportunity
New executive leadership creates a timely opening to prioritize compliance-driven digital improvements ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal liability, broadens resident access, and positions the Commission to align with state and federal digital equity requirements.
