I’ve discussed the attached information with Eva and she thought it would be nice for you two to share with your contacts. Perhaps it could be added to the “back to school” information. I’m guessing that Comcast also sends it to schools – but it doesn’t hurt to pass it along again. I’ve also cc’d Ross so he can share through social media (Eva’s suggestion).

The interesting thing is the $150 computer; Eva hadn’t heard about that before and that has been said to be the bigger hurdle for access for low income families, not the $10 a month.

I will also pass along this information to my contacts in Washington County Housing department to see if they have the fliers. I would guess that they do, but it’s worth checking.

Thanks –

Jodi

Good afternoon and thanks, Jodi! I’ve attached a brochure and flyer about Internet Essentials. Originally, program eligibility included families eligible for free/reduced lunch through the National School lunch program. In July, Comcast announced that public housing and HUD-assisted residents may also qualify now (regardless if they have children eligible for free/reduced lunch).

Hope that helps but please let me know if you need any more info. Happy August!
