Detroit, MI Community Broadband Network Hope Village

In Progress

Hope Village residents experienced a 45-day Internet outage during the summer of 2021. City officials approved the use of $10 million in ARPA funds for fiber-optic line installation. The network connects to 2,000 homes with multiple operators invited to ensure competitive prices and service. Detroit will experiment with features that lower barriers to connectivity like sliding-scale payments for low-income households.
