UNITE-LA Today: LA DEAL Update

As earlier announced, LA DEAL was able to help secure a total of $200,000 for 10 municipalities in L.A. County from the California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF). We are happy to report that in addition to the financial support, the municipal leaders participated in two Local Government Best Practices Check List Learning Community convenings in late September.

The award and capacity building are based on the scoring of their grant application, which LA DEAL directly supported, and recommendations by leaders from Regional Broadband Consortia, which we provided. During the Learning Community gatherings, the municipal leaders discussed how we can collaborate to reach all low-income households in their jurisdiction to get them online and digitally proficient—the essential foundation for closing the digital divide, promoting digital inclusion and achieving digital equity throughout the L.A. region.
