Certain township residents can receive reduced internet access through the new Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
Administered by the Federal Communications Commission, the program provides eligible households up to $30/month off internet bills, as well as a one-time $100 discount off a connected device. Certain internet service providers will also offer high-speed plans that are fully covered by the ACP. To qualify for the program, residents must meet one of three conditions: have an income at or below 200% of federal poverty guidelines, participate or have someone in the household participate in a program such as Medicaid, Pell grant, supplemental nutrition assistance, among others, OR meet eligibility criteria for a participating broadband provider existing low-income internet program.
