Digital Divide Partners
Community Technology at Work
Digital Divide Partners (DDP) collaborates with not-for-profit resident associations, housing managers, community groups and Internet Service Providers to bring innovative technology services, applications and solutions to the "digitally forgotten", the families and individuals struggling with survival in the urban environment.
The DDP knows that its resident partners, community and housing group clients are experts at what they do and what they need to improve the quality of their lives. We bring innovative technology solutions into the equation, utilizing unlicensed wireless spectrum and the latest digital tools and applications to solve their problems and empower their communities.

Our Projects
Manhattan North Project
Empowering our Resident Community
Cooperative Membership Model
The Project utilizes a cooperative membership model where each of the development resident associations is an owner/operator of network facilities and services in their community, provided in collaboration with The Smart Community Initiative. The Project brings services to the Black and Brown low-income residents for whom the only “affordable” Internet is FREE Internet; those families living at or below the poverty line, many unemployed, struggling to pay the rent, medical expenses and keep the kids fed - the "digital forgotten".
