Michigan High Speed Internet Office Launches $13 Million Grant Process for Michigan's Inclusive Training, Technology and Equity Network

The Michigan High Speed Internet Office (MIHI) launched Michigan's Inclusive Training, Technology and Equity Network (MITTEN), a $13 million grant program to bolster digital inclusion and capacity building efforts for regional entities and collaboratives throughout the state. Applicants are encouraged to apply to be regional resource hubs and host sites for the state’s regional digital coordinators. These coordinators will play a vital role in supporting the implementation of the Michigan Digital Equity Plan within proposed project areas and supported covered populations. With over $13 million in funds from the State Digital Equity Capacity Grant, MITTEN seeks to promote equitable access to high-speed internet and digital skills training across Michigan. Digital navigators, stationed regionally and within local communities, will address the specific needs of underrepresented, under-invested and underserved areas.
