Plain-English Summary

The federal government would be required to study and report on whether public housing developments have the infrastructure needed to support high-speed internet service. This report would help Congress understand what upgrades or investments might be necessary to bring broadband access to residents of federally funded housing programs. The findings could inform future decisions about improving internet connectivity in low-income communities that rely on government housing assistance.
