Publication Overview
HUD’s ConnectHome pilot program was launched in 2015 to address the “homework gap” for students in grades K-12 living in public and Indian housing, and entailed twenty-eight communities working with private sector stakeholders to connect households to the Internet, provide digital literacy training, and distribute thousands of free or low-cost devices. The ConnectHome Playbook incorporates lessons, models, tips, and case studies identified from the program into a step-by-step guide for communities looking to set up their own digital inclusion initiatives.
