Federal Public Housing Assistance: Discounted Internet and Phone Service
When you’re struggling to afford housing, the last thing you need is an expensive phone bill.
Sadly, millions of Americans are forced to choose between phone service and paying their rent.
If you’re in this situation, help is available. Federal Public Housing Assistance Program participants
can get discounted internet and phone service. Find out how to sign up below:
What is the Federal Public Housing Assistance Program?
The Federal Public Housing Assistance Program (FPHA) gives low-income households, the elderly,
and people with disabilities access to affordable rental housing. This is accomplished through the
Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly Section 8) and by building affordable public housing developments.
To qualify for the FPHA Program, you must be a U.S. citizen or documented immigrant whose household income
is less than 80% of the median income for your area. You must also apply for assistance with your local
Public Housing Agency (PHA).
If you are admitted to the program, you can use your benefits to select any eligible housing unit, like an
apartment, single-family home, or townhome. After making a decision, your rent will be partially covered by
a subsidy paid directly to your landlord.
FPHA does not directly provide access to discounted internet and phone service.
However, enrollment in the program qualifies participants for the federal Lifeline program.
How Do You Use Federal Public Housing Assistance to Get Discounted Phone Service?
Federal Public Housing Assistance provides discounted internet and phone service by automatically qualifying
participants for the Lifeline program. Lifeline provides a monthly benefit of $9.25,
which can be applied to a phone or internet bill.
Although this benefit covers just a portion of a carrier’s phone bill, it enables carriers to offer
Lifeline-supported plans to program participants.
How to Enroll in Lifeline Using FPHA or Section 8
Enrolling in Lifeline with FPHA benefits is simple. Just visit our application page and enter your ZIP code
and email. You’ll be redirected to a page to enter your personal information and verify your eligibility for Lifeline.
If you qualify, the site will prompt you to select your Lifeline-supported plan.
Does Section 8 Provide Free Phone Service?
Section 8 participants may be qualified to receive free phone service, as it is a qualifying eligibility
program for Lifeline. To get free phone service, apply on our website.
