We’re working with local partners across Fiber cities to get more families in public housing online with Gigabit Internet for $0/month. Residents at KC’s West Bluff public housing community recently became the first in the country to activate this service. We can’t wait to see what they’ll do with Fiber.

The Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA) serves 4,300 Austin residents through public housing. In partnership with their initiative, Unlocking the Connection, each HACA resident will be able to connect to the internet at home for free.

The Digital Inclusion Fellowship includes our partnership with the Nonprofit Technology Network (NTEN) to help provide community organizations across Fiber cities to create and sustain digital literacy programs.

The Community Leaders Program is our partnership with local universities in Kansas City, Austin, and Provo designed to help college students drive positive change in their communities. The program gives students tools to help non-profit organizations, small businesses, and underserved Internet populations use technology.

The ConnectHome program, in partnership with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Google Fiber, is working to bring $0/month ​Gigabit Internet connectivity to more children and families living in HUD-assisted housing.

In Kansas City, Austin, and Provo, hundreds of neighborhood institutions are connected to Gigabit Internet to offer the community a place for Internet access.

The Digital Inclusion Fund, housed at the Greater Kansas City Community foundation, is the first ever private sector-supported fund for local projects that teach digital literacy skills and help people get online.
