211 New York Inc. recently collaborated with the NYS ConnectALL office in spreading awareness and navigating signups for the Affordable Broadband Act!
The Affordable Broadband Act is a New York State law passed in 2025 that requires internet service providers (ISPs) in New York State with at least 20,000 customers to offer reduced-cost plans to qualifying households.
New Yorkers can qualify for high-speed broadband home internet services that cost as little as $20/month if their household qualifies or participates in: SNAP – Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Medicaid, HEAP – Home Emergency Assistance Program, etc.
See the website at https://www.211newyork.org/aba for more information and to access printable flyers for your library.
