The CHA launched its Surveillance Cameras Initiative in 2009, incorporating it into its senior and family housing portfolios. This initiative significantly enhanced the CHA's security infrastructure, aligning with its strategic goals of protecting investments and ensuring operational security. The centralized video surveillance system deployed across CHA properties connects directly to the Office of Emergency Management and Communications and the Chicago Police Department, enabling timely and informed responses to incidents. The system was also designed to accommodate the future expansion of CHA properties. CHA anticipates awarding a firm fixed-rate contract for a base period of three years.
