The FCC and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have partnered to promote awareness of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) among federal housing assistance recipients. HUD oversees qualifying federal housing assistance programs, and the FCC has been working to ensure low-income households participating in eligible federal assistance programs are provided with information about ACP.
The partnership plans to host outreach and enrollment events at public housing, meet to coordinate regularly, and develop messaging for ACP outreach and education efforts together. HUD clarified that receiving ACP benefits would not increase rent for HUD-assisted tenants.
