Very impressed with the continued success of Atefeh Riazi's NYCHA digital van program. They continue to serve the needs of NYCHA residents without access to vital online resources.

It's nice to know that people have a chance to use the technology even if they don't have a clue how to, since the vans come around with staff that can walk you through whatever task you are there to accomplish.

Don't forget about this service offered by The New York City Housing Authority! If you don't have internet access at home, this is a great chance to get things done.
