A Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) is an area designated by the U.S. Small Business Administration, typically of low median household incomes and/or high unemployment. HTI is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization helping to bring technology to those in need in HUBZone communities nationwide.
HTI acquires functional laptops, donated by individuals, organizations, and businesses, and converts them to Google Chromebooks. We then partner with communities to get them into the hands of those who need them for educational and professional advancement.
A HUBZone is more than just a geographical area; it's a community striving for growth. We invite you to join us in creating a lasting impact. Your contribution can transform lives by providing access to technology and opportunities that empower individuals and families.
HTI uses Google ChromeOS Flex because it is a highly secure, fast, and modern operating system (OS) that runs on almost any hardware. Formerly known as Cloudready, ChromeOS Flex garnered immediate attention as an operating system created by Google to give its users a way to turn old, slow computers into fast, reliable devices.
ChromeOS Flex can be used to refresh older devices with a modern OS and extend their lifespan to reduce e-waste. Devices boot quickly, don’t slow down over time, and update in the background, reducing device downtime. ChromeOS Flex allows organizations to deploy a more energy-efficient, sustainable solution while experiencing a lower total cost of ownership.
HTI exists to bridge the digital divide by providing individuals with technology to achieve their educational and career goals.
