Last week, WifiForward awarded ONE Neighborhood Builders its “Wi-Fi at Work Award,” one of 16 organizations nationwide to be honored. “The COVID-19 outbreak made clear that, without reliable Internet, children couldn’t attend remote classes and parents couldn’t get telehealth services,” Hawkins said, in response to the award. “Internet access in all neighborhoods, regardless of socioeconomic realities, is essential and not simply a convenience.”
