As your sector representative indicated, the Southwest Missouri Council of Governments (SMCOG) is working with the Missouri MoBroadbandNow project, which is part of a five year initiative launched by Governor Nixon in 2009 to facilitate broadband expansion throughout Missouri.
MoBroadbandNow seeks to expand broadband accessibility and adoption in our area to empower family resource centers, community and social services non-profits and similar organizations to be able to help individuals and families through times of hardship and crisis. MoBroadbandNow seeks to assist organizations like yours in leveraging broadband to help individuals and families find jobs, access training, connect with government services, find housing, locate specialists and healthcare providers, get emergency funding, etc.
To be successful, the MoBroadbandNow project needs to have a fuller understanding of how your organization would like to use broadband, and the barriers and challenges that you face in integrating it into your community.
In order to do that, we are engaging in an effort to identify broadband needs at the local level. Specifically, in this survey, we want to find out the attitudes, opinions, needs and interests of stakeholders in the community and social services sector. The thoughts of this group will be shared with the Southwest Missouri Regional Technology Planning Team (RTPT) which is tasked with considering ways, and crafting a strategic plan, to create broadband opportunities and address the needs of our region.
