ConnectHome

ConnectHomeUSA (formerly ConnectHome Nation) is a movement to bridge the digital divide for public housing residents in the United States. ALA is a partner in the effort to deliver tailored, on-site digital literacy programming and resources to public housing residents. As part of the initiative, local public libraries provide tools and training to help residents maximize broadband access to advance job skills, complete homework assignments, pursue online learning, and protect their privacy and security of personal information as they expand their online lives.
