CHA was awarded a $698,000 competitive grant to reopen its shuddered computer centers at Jefferson Park and Windsor Street and open a new center at Roosevelt Towers.  The grant from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration's Broadband Technology Opportunity Program is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

This award is the fourth competitive ARRA grant CHA has won.  In September CHA was awarded $1.7 million for energy upgrades for Truman Apartments, $10 million for the comprehensive modernization of LBJ Apartments and $10 million for the modernization of Jackson Gardens and demolition and redevelopment of Lincoln Way apartments; bringing CHA's total competitive awards to almost $24 million.
