EducationSuperHighway Establishes No Home Left Offline Coalition

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) allocated over $45 billion to states for broadband deployment through the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) and Digital Equity Act (DEA) programs. This historic investment presents an opportunity to close the digital divide across the country, but we must make sure that the 20-25% of unconnected households living in multi-family and public housing, primarily in urban and suburban communities, are not left offline. EducationSuperHighway has established the "No Home Left Offline Coalition." In the coming months, the coalition will be hard at work advocating to states for the inclusion and prioritization of broadband solutions that efficiently connect unconnected households living in multi-family and public housing in their state BEAD plans. While the coalition’s near-term priorities center around ensuring states include multi-family and public housing in their network deployment plans, the coalition will also advocate for other policy solutions to ensure universal access to reliable, affordable broadband, and support policies that provide access to devices and learning.
