The Free WiFi is ONLY in the lobby and in the computer lab both on the first floor. WiFi does not like to go up and down through concrete and steel framing.

In an increasingly connected society, those without Internet access can get left behind. But residents at two Columbia Housing Authority facilities might soon get a chance to catch up.
On Dec. 5, the Columbia Housing Authority Board of Commissioners approved resolutions to allow CEO Phil Steinhaus to request permission from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to enter into lease agreements that would provide wireless Internet access to Paquin Tower and the Bear Creek Family Site.
Full Stream LLC, which would provide Wi-Fi to Paquin Tower, is proposing to lease space on the building’s roof for a tower. The company would pay the Columbia Housing Authority $1,500 per month and provide Wi-Fi to residents for free.
BlueBird Media Network, which will provide service to the authority’s Bear Creek site, was previously awarded federal stimulus money. The firm is leasing CHA property to build a communications transmission facility near the Bear Creek site and will provide free Wi-Fi to residents there.
