Closing The Digital Divide: How PHAs Are Delivering Connectivity

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.
