The overall objective of this evaluation of One Economy’s Digital Communities program is to examine the impact that having a computer with Internet access at home has on peoples’ lives. The evaluation has sought to measure and describe how the program has influenced attitudes and behaviors that can lead to improved economic and social outcomes for low-income families through the strategic use of technology. From this examination, One Economy can assess the program effects in ways that will contribute to its further efforts to improve the lives of low-income individuals and communities through strategic use of technology.
