The Affordable Connectivity Program
What it is:
LHTC Broadband is participating in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), a federal government assistance program that provides eligible households with a discount on Internet service. The ACP will provide a discount of up to $30 on Internet bills for households that meet income eligibility requirements. It’s important to note, LHTC Broadband does not determine a household’s eligibility. The member will receive approval for the program from the USAC’s National Verifier and the member will provide LHTC Broadband with an enrollment code for verification.
