Notice of Funding Opportunity for Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) FCC-ACOGP-23-001
The National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) and the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) recently hosted a virtual event to discuss new funding for telehealth and broadband access. About 15 million of an estimated 48 million eligible households are enrolled in the Affordable Connectivity Program. Rural Americans benefit the most from telehealth, yet enrollment in urban states appears to be doing better than in rural states. The Notice of Funding Opportunity for Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) outreach grants will fund community organizations to publicize the program and create ACP navigators to help with enrollment. This is very important for rural areas. Interested in viewing the webinar? Click here.
