Tech Industry Unites to Provide Laptops and Internet for Wildfire Survivors

Tech Leaders Helping with Tech" Initiative to Support Displaced Residents PASADENA, Calif., March 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On Sunday, March 9, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Jackie Robinson Community Center, more than 400 residents affected by the recent wildfires will receive free laptops and internet access as part of a major relief effort. Human-I-T, a nonprofit dedicated to closing the digital divide and reducing e-waste, has partnered with the City of Pasadena, Laserfiche—a global leader in document management software—and other organizations to provide critical technology to those in need. This initiative will help affected residents stay connected, access essential resources, and begin rebuilding their lives. "Our goal is to provide laptops and hotspots to our Pasadena and Altadena community members affected by the wildfires," said City of Pasadena, Chief Information Officer Phillip Leclair, "We appreciate IT leaders and organizations who have stepped in to make a difference." "The outpouring of support has been incredibly heartwarming," said Laserfiche Chief Information Officer Thomas Phelps. "Phillip and I are incredibly grateful to tech leaders from East West Bank, Cathay Bank, The Beachbody Company, Metrolink, USC Marshall and many others who donated devices." Additionally, companies like Lenovo, and Robert Half have stepped up to contribute, along with organizations such as Delete the Divide, the Los Angeles Digital Equity Action League (LA DEAL), EveryoneON, Ketchum YMCA LA, World Central Kitchen, CORE, and NAACP Pasadena. T-Mobile is providing hotspots to eligible households through the Project 10Million. With Human-I-T's distribution and organizational support, Leclair and Phelps are leading the Tech Leaders Helping with Tech initiative, rallying major players in the tech community to donate devices. Together, they have recruited nonprofit IT leadership organizations, including Innovate@UCLA, SIM Foundation, SCSIM, and ISACA Los Angeles. "At Lenovo, we are deeply committed to supporting communities in times of crisis," said Lenovo Vice President of the U.S. Public Sector Leslie Harlien,. "Our laptop donation to the people of the Los Angeles region will help families and residents stay connected. Technology plays a critical role in recovery as more services, schooling, and our daily lives move online. Lenovo stands with the people of L.A. as they navigate this challenging time." The need is still urgent. Many evacuees fled their homes with little more than their phones, making it difficult to complete online forms for assistance, find long-term housing, and access programs offering food and other necessities. "We've seen time and again how access to technology can be a lifeline in times of crisis and essential for residents to begin rebuilding their lives," said CEO of Human-I-T, Gabe Middleton. "This generous support ensures we can provide not just devices, but hope and opportunity to those affected by this disaster. We are deeply grateful for all the partnerships within the tech community that are making digital access a cornerstone of disaster recovery."

Low-Income Internet Alternatives for All 50 States

The end of the Affordable Connectivity Program" target="_self last year left 23 million households without a suitable alternative to low-income internet accessibility. A significant percentage of those households were located in rural areas with limited internet options, and nearly half were military families. Congress has failed to provide further funding" target="_self for the continuation of the ACP, which shaved $30 (or $75 on tribal lands) off monthly broadband bills for participating low-income households. "High-speed internet isn't a luxury anymore -- it's an absolute necessity," President Joe Biden said last April in a speech calling for an extension of the program, citing the importance of broadband for schoolwork, telemedicine and small business. In the wake of the loss of the ACP, many internet service providers, including CenturyLink, Quantum Fiber and Google Fiber, returned ACP customers to standard rates. But some ISPs have opted to include low-cost plans with slower speeds (think 50 megabits per second) for discounted rates and a handful of ISPs, like Kinetic by Windstream, are continuing the $30 monthly discount for eligible households. In any case, although there is yet to be an affordable internet replacement program, you still have one or two options for a monthly discount on home internet. The federal Lifeline program doesn't offer the same substantial discount, but it can be helpful with affording home internet. It provides a $9.25-per-month broadband benefit for eligible households or up to $34.25 for homes on tribal lands. Here's what you need to know about qualifying for Lifeline. In some cases, you may also qualify for service from nonprofit PCs for People, which offers a widespread, affordable internet program that starts at $15 per month for access to T-Mobile's 4G LTE network with the purchase of a mobile hotspot. You must provide documentation of enrollment in a government assistance program or proof of income eligibility. Additionally, T-Mobile's Project 10Million aims to get low-income students online with a free 100GB of hotspot internet per year. Your search for affordable internet in a post-ACP world starts with your existing ISP. Look for communications about options and then compare with offers from other providers that service your address. You can find what's available by entering your address on the Federal Communications Commission's broadband map. Find your state to explore affordable internet options that may be available in your area. Some ISPs require an eligibility check for their low-income plans, so gather your proof of income and documentation for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the National School Lunch Program, Supplemental Security Income or other assistance programs. Some of the programs compiled here have end dates and specific requirements. Reach out to your ISP for full information on serviceability, eligibility and qualifying for low-cost internet programs. Access from AT&T: AT&T's low-income program provides speeds up to 100Mbps to qualifying households. It covers both AT&T's fiber network and its legacy DSL network. The program costs $30 per month and includes equipment. There are no data caps. To qualify, you must be eligible for SNAP or NSLP or have a household income below 200% of federal poverty guidelines. If you can get only DSL, and your maximum available speed is 10Mbps or less, then you may be able to get Access by AT&T for $10 per month with a data cap. Human-I-T Franklin T10 Hotspot: Everyone who already qualified for the ACP automatically qualifies for this offer of unlimited 4G LTE internet access for $15 monthly. You may have to show proof of income eligibility or participation in a government assistance program. Note that the hotspot device itself costs $73 upfront. Kinetic by Windstream Benefit Credit: Kinetic by Windstream's ACP customers will continue to receive a Kinetic Benefit Credit that matches the previous federal subsidy. As long as you continue to meet the eligibility standards set by the ACP, you'll receive the credit.

SpitWSpots Keep Alaska Connected: Eligible Alaskans can qualify for free 10Mbps internet service through wireless ISP SpitWSpots around the Homer and Soldotna area.

Be sure to sign up for Lifeline if you qualify. Every little bit helps. President Biden and some members of Congress have pushed to continue the ACP, but the effort has stalled out. Here's the latest on the effort to revive the ACP. The program's future is uncertain. On the federal level, the closest assistance program to the ACP is Lifeline. Lifeline has more stringent eligibility requirements and provides only a $9.25 ($34.25 on tribal lands) subsidy. Free home internet is hard to find, though some cities have programs offering no-cost connections to eligible families with students enrolled in public schools. Free Wi-Fi is easier to come by. Here's a guide to finding free Wi-Fi hotspots. Some seniors may qualify for the federal Lifeline program for a monthly discount on internet. You may be eligible if you participate in Medicaid or receive SSI or SNAP. Otherwise, look to affordable plans offered by your local ISPs. Some providers, including Xfinity and Astound, offer special low-cost plans for low-income households.
