Project Description

The Accelerate Digital Equity Project includes two components: 1.) Delete The Divide Laptops for Constituents, which will provide approximately 7,500 new Windows-based laptop computers to eligible Los Angeles County households, small businesses, and organizations based on needs assessments; and 2.) Data Collection and Analysis for Community Digital Equity Needs, which will collect and analyze local digital equity needs through electronic surveys and in-person forums and/or focus groups to provide ongoing insights to the County's digital equity programs on the demographics and the technology support needs of Los Angeles County's residents who are experiencing the digital divide.
