Dear Friend,

Do you need assistance paying for internet services? My office and a new federal program may be able to help.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which I was proud to vote for, created the new Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides eligible households $30 per month off their internet bills. ACP-eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase devices like laptops or tablets. Eligibility is income based - to find out if you qualify visit www.getinternet.gov or click here. 

To help make sure Northeast Ohioans can take advantage of this program, my office is hosting an Affordable Connectivity Program Signup on Thursday October 12, 4:30-6:00 PM at the Cleveland Public Library - Woodland Branch (5906 Woodland Avenue, Cleveland OH 44104).

To register for the event, click here. If you have questions you can call 216-522-4900 or email Kelly.Sullivan@mail.house.gov.

With so much of how we work, learn, and communicate taking place online, closing the digital divide is essential and my office is committed to making sure that every zip code we represent has access to affordable internet service.   

Sincerely,

Shontel M. Brown
Member of Congress
