Welcome to the Clayton County Office of Digital Equity

Our goal is to ensure that the residents of Clayton County have equal access to affordable and reliable high-speed internet, technology, and the skills needed to survive and compete in the digital world. We are looking forward to working with County leaders, local organizations and businesses, and of course, the citizens of Clayton County to close the “Digital Divide”.

What is the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)

The Affordable Connectivity Program, or ACP is a federally funded program that offers a one-time discount of up to $100 for a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer and up to $30/month discount on high-speed internet service to qualified households. In an effort to begin addressing the digital divide in Clayton County, your Office of Digital Equity will be hosting monthly ACP Sign-Up events across the County and hosting technical training sessions for the residents of Clayton County.
