Leadership Change HASCO is appointing a new CEO, Laurie Olson, with the effective date of December 2, 2024. This leadership transition represents an opening for engaging the organization on strategic tech initiatives, procurement for modernization projects, and stakeholder outreach opportunities.

Tech Modernization Current tech stack includes common web and analytics tools (Excel, jQuery, Word, JSON-LD, imagesLoaded, Yoast SEO, Apache server, Piwik PRO). This mix suggests opportunities to offer modernization, data integration, analytics governance, and performance enhancements tailored for a housing authority IT environment.

Affordability Focus HASCO has a history of affordable housing development partnerships (e.g., Housing Hope collaboration for a 40–50 unit project). This signals potential demand for project planning software, grant management, construction tech, and CRM solutions that support partnership programs and funding administration.

Website Updates Past notices about launching a new website indicate ongoing digital presence development. There may be opportunities to provide website modernization, accessibility improvements, content management, and SEO services to enhance outreach and program awareness.

Growth Potential Revenue is modest (0–1M) with peer agencies achieving significantly higher scales. This suggests a market need for scalable software, procurement platforms, and digital transformation services aimed at growing efficiency, grant tracking, and operations across similar housing authorities in the region.
