“Armando Cantu, founder of the CARDBoard Project, said adaptation begins with something even more fundamental: Access.
Through his nonprofit, Cantu works with residents who struggle to apply for jobs, complete training programs or access services because they lack devices, internet access or digital skills. “Opportunities should not be based on your ZIP code,” Cantu said. Cantu pointed to research showing 92% of jobs now require at least one digital skill. Yet many residents remain disconnected from the tools needed to compete in the modern economy.
A Dallas Morning News analysis shows broadband access remains uneven across the region, particularly among lower-income households, reinforcing Cantu’s argument that digital access increasingly shapes economic opportunity.”
