New Gov’t program that gives money to families who can’t afford to connect to the internet at home. It’s called the Affordable Connectivity Program or ACP. VP Kamala Harris announced it a few weeks ago. She asked internet companies to get the word out in our communities. The Affordable Connectivity Program gives qualifying households a credit of up to $30 per month to use towards an internet service plan ($75 for those on qualifying tribal lands). Think of it as a housing voucher but for internet service. With this “voucher” — and the right internet service plan— high-speed internet is free for these qualifying families. We have Foti Kallergis, Comcast Sr. Director of External Communications and Public Relations and Jamila Byrd, a mother who has benefitted from the program, tells her story.
