Government-assisted homes would get a plan to improve internet access
This bill would require a government watchdog to study internet access in homes that receive federal assistance. It would also require the Department of Housing and Urban Development to create a plan for upgrading these homes so they can support reliable internet service. This information would help Congress decide how to improve internet connectivity for millions of Americans.
Today, there is no required comprehensive report on internet access in federally assisted housing, nor a mandated plan for upgrading these homes. If this bill passes, a government watchdog would have to submit a detailed report within one year, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development would have to create and submit an upgrade plan within 18 months.
