The ACP is a $14.2 billion FCC program created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that helps
ensure that qualifying low-income households can afford the broadband they need for work,
school, healthcare, and more. The program plays an integral role in helping to bridge the
broadband affordability gap.
