The Capital Projects Fund requires participating internet service providers to be part of the new Affordable Connectivity Program. We will continue to work to make sure expanded broadband access remains affordable.
Find more info about internet access at GetInternet.gov
Dozens of state and local governments are already using part of their Recovery Funds to expand broadband, especially in rural communities, and Treasury will soon begin approving state applications for the Capital Projects Fund, which includes $10B for connectivity.
We are proud to be part of the Biden Administration’s unprecedented efforts to make broadband more affordable. Access to reliable, high-speed internet is essential for every household as well as our schools, businesses, & the continued strength of America's economy. twitter.com/WhiteHouse/sta…
Policy decisions like the #AmericanRescuePlan that put consumer protection, families & workers, and economic relief first continue to contribute to America’s strong recovery from the pandemic.

As #WomensHistoryMonth ends, I’m reflecting on some recent inspirational meetings, including with this group of incredible entrepreneurs at an iconic Black-women owned restaurant in Memphis. It’s a reminder that when women have access to opportunity, they help communities thrive.

Today’s actions are a part of the comprehensive response to restrict sectors that are essential to supplying Putin's continued invasion of Ukraine.
The U.S. continues to impose severe costs on Russia for its unprovoked & unjustified war against Ukraine by targeting operators in the Russian technology sector to prevent it from evading multilateral sanctions & procure critical western technology.

Included in today's updates: new incentives to urge state & local govts to fund additional eviction diversion efforts as these emergency funds run out. Already govts have budgeted $3.75B+ of their State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds for rental assistance & eviction prevention.
Establishing ERA services at a national scale is paying off. New analysis by Eviction Lab published earlier this month found that millions of renters avoided the threat of eviction in 2021 due to the fed govt’s unprecedented interventions.
evictionlab.org/us-eviction-fi…
Nationwide infrastructure that ERA helped create has led to direct assistance for millions of renters, & the creation of hundreds of new state & local partnerships with nonprofits & courts administering eviction diversion, access to counsel, & housing stability services.
The Emergency Rental Assistance program, part of the #AmericanRescuePlan, continues to help families stay in their homes. Through February 2022, ERA grantees have made 4.7M+ payments to households & spent or obligated approx. $30B in rental assistance.
