Internet Essentials from Comcast brings affordable high-speed internet to your home!



The Chicago Housing Authority knows that our community members depend on the internet in their home. In today’s world, now more than ever, we all need access – whether it is for a job search, homework assignments, or sending/receiving email.
 
That’s why they have partnered with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Comcast. Internet EssentialsSM from Comcast brings affordable high-speed internet to your home and greater access to what’s important to you.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Features of Internet Essentials include:
 
o  High-speed internet service for $9.95 + tax per month
·        No term contract or credit check
·        No installation fee
·        In-home WiFi included
o  Access to 40 1-Hour sessions of Xfinity WiFi hotspots outside the home every 30 days
o  The option to purchase a refurbished desktop or laptop for $149.99 + tax
o  Free in-person and online digital training classes 
 
Comcast has expanded eligibility* for Internet Essentials to include all households receiving HUD housing assistance and low-income veterans who receive state and/or federal assistance. This is great news for our community, including seniors, and those without children. We encourage you to learn about and apply for this opportunity by visiting www.InternetEssentials.com or by calling (855) 339-0738.
  
* To qualify for Internet Essentials, you must receive HUD housing assistance, including Public Housing, Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8 Vouchers) or Multifamily (including Project-Based Section 8). You must not have outstanding debt to Comcast that is less than one year old. You must live in an area where Comcast Internet service is available but not have subscribed to it within the last 90 days.  
Internet Essentials from Comcast is a program to provide home Internet service for those who receive HUD housing assistance. It is not a Community or Housing Authority program, and is not required by your Community or Housing Authority. Your Community or Housing Authority is not responsible for Internet Essentials accounts. No Community or Housing Authority funds were used for this notice.
