The City of Tucson Department of Housing and Community Development is in its first year as a ConnectHomeUSA community. We are seeking to partner with residents and community leaders as well as private and nonprofit providers to advance access to affordable in-home internet, devices, and digital training among Tucson’s HUD-assisted residents. All those who are interested are invited to a community-wide convening on March 25 to share their work and brainstorm next steps.
ConnectHomeUSA is a movement to bridge the digital divide for HUD-assisted housing residents in the United States under the leadership of national nonprofit EveryoneOn. By helping residents in participating communities to get connected at home and providing access to digital literacy and educational content, we aim to make public housing a platform for change. ConnectHomeUSA creates a platform for community leaders, local governments, nonprofit organizations, and private industry to join together and produce locally-tailored solutions for narrowing the digital divide. Through these stakeholders’ specific commitments to provide free or
low-cost broadband access, devices, and digital literacy training, ConnectHomeUSA extends affordable access to low-income families, ensuring that high-speed internet follows our children from their classrooms back to their homes.
