The Chicago Housing Authority knows that our community members depend on the internet in their home. In today’s world, now more than ever, we all need access – whether it is for a job search, homework assignments, or sending/receiving email.
That’s why they have partnered with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Comcast. Internet EssentialsSM from Comcast brings affordable high-speed internet to your home and greater access to what’s important to you.
o High-speed internet service for $9.95 + tax per month

Comcast has expanded eligibility* for Internet Essentials to include all households receiving HUD housing assistance and low-income veterans who receive state and/or federal assistance. This is great news for our community, including seniors, and those without children.
