Mass Union will join as a guest speaker to share perspectives, and insights about what connectivity in community means and the meaningful impact it has for our residents.
What You’ll Learn:
How MBI’s Retrofit Program can bring fully funded infrastructure upgrades to your buildings to deliver fast, reliable internet service.
How the RANGE Program provides grant support for housing operators to assist residents with digital adoption—including devices, digital skills training, and on-site Wi-Fi.
Why improved service and affordability are essential tools to future-proof both buildings and residents in today’s digital age.
Why This Matters: There are several housing authorities not yet enrolled in these programs – Your advocacy can inform and influence your properties to enroll to access this vital utility and additional funding to benefit you and your neighbors!
In today’s world, digital access is as essential as heat or hot water. These programs make it possible to:
Connect residents to telehealth, education, jobs, social services, and community at large.
Reduce cost barriers to adoption
Support property improvements with 100% of costs paid by MBI grant funding
We hope you’ll join us on June 25 and help lead the way in building more connected, equitable communities.
