Member Duties : The Housing Authority of the County of San Joaquin’s mission is to provide digital literacy programs to youth at Public Housing sites to narrow the digital divide. The Housing Authority plans to expand these programs to all Public Housing sites and expand the opportunities to adult residents. In 2017, The Housing Authority was awarded a ConnectHome Nation Designation. The ConnectHome initiative is a collaboration between communities, the private sector, and the Federal Government to expand high-speed internet access, technical training, digital literacy programs, and electronic devices to low-income households living in HUD Public Housing units. The Digital Inclusion Coordinator VISTA will work on grants to fund digital literacy programs, develop program materials, recruit agencies to administer programs, and recruit volunteers and teachers to facilitate classes. The VISTA will research and apply for grants to bring broadband connection to the homes of Housing Authority residents
