Abstract: HUD is partnering with an external research team (Insight Policy Research) to evaluate the ConnectHome program and administer the ConnectHome Internet Subscribers Telephone Survey. The survey is part of the evaluation of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) ConnectHome pilot initiative to increase high-speed Internet access among families with school-aged children in public housing. Results of this survey will be a critical component of assessing the effect of the ConnectHome pilot initiative in 28 communities across the United States. The purpose of the survey is to collect contextual information about subscribers’ Internet experiences, including use of the Internet to improve subscribers’ quality of life and to potentially create opportunities that did not exist without Internet access.
