Unlocking the Connection Proclamation
On February 25, the Mayor of Austin awarded the Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA) a proclamation for its work in digital inclusion. The "Unlocking The Connection" program serves as a national model for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Housing of Urban Development (HUD) in the White House Initiative called Connect Homes.
