COMMUNICATIONS RESOURCES

LIFELINE

Lifeline is the Federal Communication Commission’s program to help make communications services more affordable for low-income consumers. Lifeline provides subscribers a discount on monthly telephone service purchased from participating providers in the marketplace.

Subscribers can also purchase discounted broadband from participating providers. The discounts, which can be applied to stand-alone broadband, bundled voice-broadband packages – either fixed or mobile – and stand-alone voice service – will help ensure that low-income consumers can afford 21st-century broadband and the access it provides to jobs, education and opportunities.

RELAY TEXAS

Relay Texas is a service that provides telephone access for people with speech or hearing loss who find it challenging or impossible to use a traditional telephone. Relay Texas agents have special equipment to both hear a speaking caller and read text responses sent by callers using a text-based device such as a TTY, VCO, computer or mobile device. DHA clients who need help communicating with us may dial 7-1-1 for TTY support.
