District H News
Bridging the Digital Divide
Council Member Cisneros is improving digital access for residents in her neighborhoods by providing $100,000 from her Council District budget to equip 550 families in District H with desktop computers.

Applicants for the computer distribution can register on the Comp-U-Dopt website. Once entered, families become part of the lottery pool to receive a computer. The randomized drawing of names will occur on Monday, June 15th.

Sign up now! To qualify, recipients must meet the following criteria:
• Reside within District H (proof of residency will be verified by Texas ID or utility bill)
• Have children in the household who are currently enrolled in K-12 schooling
• Not already have a working keyboard enabled device at home.

Families who are not residents of District H will be entered into Comp-U-Dopt's ongoing computer lottery program.
