Access to reliable internet is becoming more paramount for providing housing stability, employment, education, and health care. As a result, public housing authorities are in the unique position of providing such services through partnerships within our communities. This panel will offer perspectives from multiple agencies that are doing this work and will go into detail the designing and implementation of such programs at their respective scales. Panelists will provide best practices and lessons learned on their models and offer insight into how you may be able to implement such programs at your own agencies.
