A Future Without the ACP

February 8 marked the Affordable Connectivity Program’s enrollment freeze as the Federal Communications Commission prepares for it to run out of money in April. This is happening as ACP hit a major milestone—connecting 23 million households to get affordable, reliable access to America’s Excellent Internet. New stats from the White House show the true scope of the ACP’s impact:

1. Nearly half of the households benefitting from ACP are military families.
2. Four million seniors and 10 million Americans over the age of 50 benefit from this program every month.
3. 1-in-4 households are African American, and 1-in-4 are Latino.
4. 320,000 households on Tribal lands benefit.

Digital navigators from across the US share how losing this program impacts their work and the households they help get online.
