FCC Plans Additional ACP Awareness Grants

Half of all households eligible to participate in the Affordable Connectivity Program are unaware of the benefit. That's too many households. A January 2023 survey of low-income households found that 37 percent of eligible households that knew little about ACP said they would be likely to apply with more information and 31 percent said they would be likely to apply if they knew whether they qualified. Fortunately, the Federal Communications Commission continues efforts to raise awareness and enrollment in the program. Recently, the FCC announced $10 million in additional funding for trusted partners who will help sign people up to participate in the ACP.
