Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.
The Home Internet Accessibility Act directs the Comptroller General to study broadband access in federally assisted housing and report findings to Congress within one year. The report must analyze which public and subsidized housing units currently have broadband access and which would need retrofitting to support it, broken down by state, congressional district, and other geographic areas, along with demographic information. The bill also requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to develop a comprehensive plan within 18 months for retrofitting federally assisted housing to support broadband service, including cost estimates and timelines. This legislation affects millions of Americans living in federally subsidized housing programs administered by HUD and the Department of Agriculture, addressing a key gap in internet connectivity for low-income households.
