Standing Against the Digital Divide in Davisburg Mobile Homes Ahead of the Holidays:
Rising rents, high-cost housing, difficult decisions – this is the reality facing our mobile home communities. As expenses soar, even for essential services like electricity, water, and Internet access, families have to find creative ways to put money back in their wallets. For the vibrant mobile home community of Springrove, an opportunity to save without sacrifice rolled into Davisburg last Sunday: Kwikbit Internet.
Just in time for the holidays, Springrove residents celebrated the launch of Kwikbit’s broadband alternative last Sunday. The internet provider unveiled its industry-defying service in a day filled not only with the promise of high-speed and affordable connectivity, but also festive spirit. Santa himself graced the occasion with holiday treats, joining Springrove families in their excitement for financial relief and unparalleled online access. Making memories with loved ones will be infinitely more joyous this December, thanks to the magic of Kwikbit Internet, Santa, and the Springrove community.
We must also recognize the high percentage of mobile home living in Michigan, revealing the impact of inaccessible and unaffordable internet on thousands of families this holiday. As of 2020, the state boasts over 248,000 mobile home units spread across more than 1,200 parks, with Oakland County hosting nearly 16,000 of these residences. In the past two years, the average mobile home rent has skyrocketed, contributing to a 20% plummet in Michigan’s affordable housing stock. These communities face a cycle of struggle, compounded by the lack of a stable online connection in mobile homes.
Digital equity is Kwikbit’s north star, and with the help of the company’s internet service, families across the state and country are taking back control of their economic mobility. Kwikbit’s business model, characterized by budget-friendly solutions and a remarkable 1 gigabit service, steps in as a beacon of hope for Springrove residents. Beyond the technicalities, Kwikbit plays a pivotal role in bridging the Digital Divide for thousands of families, including two other Michigan mobile home parks alongside Springrove.
