URBAN AFFAIRS COALITION


To address the related problems of pervasive poverty and low broadband adoption rates in urban Philadelphia, the Urban Affairs Coalition proposes a strategic outreach, access, and training program targeted to residents with no or limited at-home Internet access. This project intends to focus on the most economically and socially vulnerable populations, including at-risk youth, ex-offenders, public housing residents, seniors, the homeless, and people living with HIV/AIDS through project partners selected for their expertise in serving these groups. The project includes a four-stage adoption model: (1) awareness; (2) trial; (3) acceptance; and (4) conversion. By distributing 5,000 laptop computers to public housing residents who complete a broadband training curriculum, the project proposes to create a class of broadband adoption ambassadors to illustrate the benefits of access and adoption to the community at large. The Freedom Rings project also proposes to: (1) Provide computer skills and broadband training to approximately 15,000 residents over the life of the project, offering as many as 100,000 training hours focusing on online connectivity, career building, community resources, and education; and (2) Partner with the New America Foundation to evaluate the impact of the project utilizing both quantitative and qualitative metrics including program inquiries, participation rosters, event attendance, portal use statistics, website hits, and pre-and-post training surveys along with a plan to track partner participation across each of the target populations.
