The California Emerging Technology Fund is hosting Get Connected
California! Day on Saturday, August 27, 2022,
throughout California to expand access to eligible low-income
households. Information about confirmed locations and the program
can be accessed at the Internet for All
Now website.
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is helping millions of
eligible households throughout the nation save hundreds of
dollars on home internet. This federally funded initiative offers
a $30 monthly discount on home internet (up to $75 per month for
households on qualifying tribal lands) and a one-time discount of
up to $100 for a computer or a tablet.
Any household that participates in the free and reduced-price
school lunch program, CalFresh or SNAP, Lifeline, the Pell Grant,
WIC (Women, Infants & Children), Medi-Cal or Supplemental
Security Income is eligible for the ACP benefit.
At the locations, volunteers will be on hand to answer questions
and help individuals complete the application onsite. Check the
locations website frequently as additional sites are being
added.
