High-speed home Internet allows Americans to work remotely, send their children to school, participate in the social safety net and access healthcare, job training, and critical government services.
Unfortunately, 18 million U.S. households do not currently have access to home broadband – not because of a lack of available service, but simply because they cannot afford it.
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a federal benefit that aims to connect these individuals by providing eligible households with a discount of $30/month toward their home Internet bill or $75/month for households on Tribal lands.
At this time, only 26% of eligible households have applied for the benefit due to a lack of awareness, lack of trust in the program, or inability to enroll due to application barriers. Please see the informational flyers below to take advantage of this program and its benefits!
