AU Partners with Local Internet Provider to Make a Difference

Did you know 1 in 4 families living at 60% Avg. Median Household Income (AMI) do not have home INTERNET?!


🤯 For reference, Greenville’s Avg. Median Household Income is $51k. 

❕40% of our tenants are 60% AMI❕

So, we decided to come up with a solution. We partnered with our local cable/internet provider and signed a bulk deal to offer a subsidized cable/Internet package to all of our 1,450 workforce & affordable tenants. 👏🏻

Now #elearning and working from home is actually doable!
