Native Village of Selawik

The project proposes the following activities designed to improve access to, and use of, broadband services among Tribal members:

Provision of payment assistance support to 79 existing broadband subscribers to improve affordability of qualifying broadband service.
Provision of payment assistance support to 76 new broadband subscribers to improve access to qualifying broadband service.
Provision of reimbursable credit to up to 94 unemployed Tribal members seeking to re-enter the workforce for the purchase of qualifying connected devices (i.e., laptops or tablets). This will enable participants to engage in workforce development and telework.
Application of a payment assistance credit to existing and new broadband subscribers for funds not allocated by the aforementioned activities.

The project’s expected outcome is to promote broadband adoption activities, including telehealth, distance learning, telework, digital inclusion efforts, and to expand affordable broadband programs.

The project intends to serve an estimated 155 households (845 total population) with payment assistance support for qualifying broadband service and 94 unemployed Tribal members with qualifying connected devices.
