Cybersecurity and IT Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recently issued IT-services RFP identified critical gaps in cybersecurity, endpoint protection, patch management, and help desk operations, with no incumbent credential management solution in place. A compliance urgency score of 5 and an executive-led modernization mandate signal elevated operational and security risk to residents and staff.
The opportunity
FY2026–27 budget proposals reflect significant IT fund increases and available capital and operating grants, creating a strong near-term funding environment. Acting within the current procurement cycle reduces exposure, supports continuity of public services, and aligns with federal and state grant eligibility for cybersecurity and IT management initiatives.

About this project
The Housing Authority currently meets WCAG 2.0 standards but faces a mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2028, with active digital services expansion underway. Unresolved accessibility gaps create legal exposure under ADA and risk excluding residents from critical online services.
The opportunity
The April 2028 compliance deadline creates a near-term window for solution evaluation, procurement, and implementation before audit risk escalates. Federal operating and capital grant funding available in the current cycle may offset costs, and new executive leadership has signaled a clear mandate for digital modernization.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sherman Housing Authority lacks a current emergency operations plan, has unfinalized Emergency Action Plans for two sites, and an overdue annual update for a dam-adjacent site. A November 2025 cyber-caused outage of the jurisdiction-wide mass notification system exposed a critical dependency on an unreliable, non-integrated solution.
The opportunity
Homeland Security and Emergency Management Performance grants are applicable funding sources, and the Authority's FY2026–27 budget includes capital and operating grants that support this investment. Addressing these gaps now reduces resident safety risk, satisfies overdue compliance requirements, and aligns with new executive leadership's modernization mandate.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Housing Authority's maintenance vehicle fleet operates without dash cameras, GPS/telematics, or driver monitoring, leaving a documented gap in safety oversight. Participation in a municipal risk pool ties automobile liability costs directly to claims experience, creating measurable financial exposure from unmonitored fleet operations.
The opportunity
The City's Fleet Replacement Fund increase signals an organizational priority around fleet investment that extends to affiliated entities, creating a favorable environment for proactive safety adoption. Addressing this gap now supports risk pool cost management, strengthens operational accountability, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The Housing Authority's current IT environment is fragmented across network, infrastructure, help desk, and software administration, creating operational risk and compliance exposure. A recently closed IT-services RFP signals an active need to consolidate management, strengthen endpoint protection, and reduce vulnerabilities across a complex, multi-system environment.
The opportunity
An active procurement cycle and new executive leadership mandate create an immediate window to advance IT modernization aligned with the current fiscal year. Federal operating and capital grant programs eligible to housing authorities can offset costs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles may further streamline and accelerate the procurement process.
