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.

Who Is Eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program?

You are eligible for the ACP if you (or someone in your household) participate in one of these programs:
