News 12’s parent company is providing free internet access to community members who use the Norwalk Housing Authority’s Roodner Court Learning Center.

Altice is designating the Roodner Court Learning Center as an anchor institution.

Students from the Norwalk Housing Authority’s “Bridge to College and Career” program learned about Altice’s work with the Housing Authority during a visit to the Altice headquarters in Norwalk.
