The National Diversity Coalition just wrapped up a crucial webinar discussing the suspension of The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). As of February 7, 2024, ACP has ceased accepting new applications and enrollments, impacting over 23 million households nationwide. This news hits hard, especially for families with below-average incomes.
Despite the uncertainty, there's a glimmer of hope. President Joe Biden’s administration has called on Republicans in Congress to extend funding for the Federal Communications Commission’s Affordable Connectivity Program. This program is a lifeline for millions, providing vital broadband rebates.
Here at NDC, we're committed to staying vigilant in the face of this setback. We'll be actively exploring avenues to navigate this loss and, if possible, contribute to efforts aimed at reinstating the program. Stay tuned for updates, and let's continue advocating for equitable access to connectivity for all!
