The $250,000 Emergency Safety and Security Grant, was secured as part of the HUD Capital Fund Emergency Safety and Security Program. This grant will fund vital safety improvements in public housing developments, including the installation of enhanced security cameras, lighting systems, smoke detectors and fire alarms. These upgrades are designed to accelerate emergency response times, enhancing the security and well-being of residents. The integration of state-of-the-art security technology not only helps deter crime but also facilitates faster emergency responses, which is critical during and after events like hurricanes.
