With the goal of making consistent and reliable access to the Internet more budget-friendly for all Americans, the Affordable Connectivity Program was developed as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021. It was announced in June that Michigan will be receiving 1.5 billion in federal grants as part of the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment program.
This $30 monthly discount is available for people with incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty level or households where at least one member meets the following qualifications: Free and Reduced-Price School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program, SNAP, SSI, WIC, and Medicaid recipients. Other qualifications include residents receiving Federal Housing Assistance, including the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program (Section 8 Vouchers), and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA)/Section 202/ Section 811.
Many people with disabilities qualify for this program, but are not aware of it. If you need help making an application contact The Arc Muskegon office.
