Letter to CTO Lindsey Parker and DCHA Director Brenda Donald on Wi-Fi Improvement Plans

I am writing today as a follow up to the FY2021 $1 million investment that the Office of the Chief Technology Office received for a Wi-Fi Improvement Pilot. While I was not on the Council at the time of the appropriation, I am very interested in the progress and outcomes related to the pilot. I understand that the scope of the pilot was to install public Wi-Fi hubs at two properties in the D.C. Housing Authority (DCHA) portfolio: Potomac Gardens Apartments and Hopkins Apartments. As FY2021 has now concluded, I would like information regarding the pilot’s progress, what we have learned from this project, and how we can use the lessons from the pilot to close the digital divide across the District.
