Strengthen Password Security and Cybersecurity Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Memphis Housing Authority has identified password management as a compliance-driven priority within its active IT and Cybersecurity Modernization initiative. Without a formalized solution, the agency faces elevated credential risk and ADA/WCAG accessibility obligations that compound operational and reputational exposure.
The opportunity
A potential IT/cybersecurity contract expiration by end of 2026 creates a near-term window to act within the current planning cycle. Addressing this now aligns with HUD operational fund eligibility, reduces audit and compliance risk, and advances the agency's stated modernization goals.
Endpoint Visibility and IT Modernization Readiness
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Memphis Housing Authority has active IT and cybersecurity modernization initiatives, but gaps in endpoint visibility and management leave systems and resident data exposed. With a managed cloud infrastructure already in place, the foundational layer exists — but incomplete endpoint coverage creates measurable operational and security risk.
The opportunity
An IT and cybersecurity contract expiration anticipated by end of 2026 creates a near-term planning window to address endpoint management as a defined strategic priority. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows MHA to close coverage gaps, strengthen compliance posture, and align procurement with existing infrastructure investments.
Close Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Gaps
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Memphis Housing Authority lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan and a mass-notification platform, leaving residents and staff without reliable communication during disruptions. A February 2026 report formally criticized MHA for communication and transparency failures, elevating both operational and reputational risk.
The opportunity
The absence of incumbent solutions and documented criticality position this as a high-priority, near-term initiative aligned with the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces resident safety risk, strengthens organizational accountability, and supports responsible stewardship of HUD operating funds.
Web Accessibility & Digital Content Compliance
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
MHA's public-facing web presence carries unresolved ADA/WCAG compliance obligations, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access for residents. The legacy CMS platform in use represents a technology overlap that can be addressed through accessibility and document workflow improvements without a full platform replacement.
The opportunity
ADA/WCAG obligations are an ongoing compliance driver with no formal deadline, making proactive remediation a lower-cost path than reactive legal response. Addressing accessibility gaps now supports equitable resident access, reduces liability risk, and aligns with current IT modernization priorities and upcoming fiscal planning cycles.
