(Washington, D.C.) – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced the expansion of the ConnectHomeUSA (CHUSA) initiative through a notice in the Federal Register. This is the first time since 2020 that HUD is accepting new communities into the initiative, which works with Public Housing Authorities, Tribally Designated Housing Entities, and Multifamily housing providers to put in place the key elements of a digital inclusion program.
The initiative was originally launched in 2015 to close the homework gap in twenty-eight pilot communities. Since that time, 100 communities have participated in the initiative.
