The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has created four complementary grant programs to promote the Affordable Connectivity Program, a $14.2 billion program that helps ensure qualifying low-income households can afford the broadband they need, nationwide. The outreach program seeks to enlist trusted community messengers to develop innovative outreach strategies to reach historically unserved and underserved communities. Partners will be provided with the funding needed to increase participation among eligible, low-income households in need of an internet connection.
