High-Speed Internet Access for Federally Assisted Housing: Report and Retrofit Plan.
This law requires the government to assess how many federally assisted housing units lack high-speed internet access and need infrastructure upgrades. Based on this assessment, the Department of Housing must create a detailed plan and cost estimate to ensure all residents in subsidized housing can access broadband service. The goal is to close the digital divide for low-income families, improving access to education and employment.
Key points
The Comptroller General must produce a detailed report identifying which subsidized housing units lack broadband access, broken down by location and demographics.
The Department of Housing (HUD) has 18 months to develop a plan to retrofit buildings to support high-speed internet installation in all federally assisted housing.
The report will estimate the costs and timeline required to achieve full connectivity, a crucial step toward improving residents' quality of life.
The law covers housing assisted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Agriculture.
