Broadband EBT System

This project recommends that the City of New York work with City and State agencies to subsidize the cost of broadband for low-income households using existing Electronic Benefits Transfer infrastructure. Expanding EBT infrastructure to cover broadband payments would directly lower the cost of broadband for low-income households and offer a sustainable, long-term solution.

This project was completed as part of the 2021 Tech Executive Leadership Initiative (TELI) hosted in conjunction with the Tech Talent Project. You can learn more about TELI here.
