Getting People Connected  We’ve had a total of 2,084 internet adoptions!  We have 182 to go to meet our CETF goal  CETF funding for this program ends in June  Partner contracts expired in December and we will not be renewing  We are seeking funding from Frontier through the recently released RFP—funds become available in July.  CFILC is the leader in disability digital access  CETF touts our Digital Access Project as the model that should be replicated  We had to make a lot of adjustments to get here, the original model that depended on partnerships failed, we established relationship with utilities, purchased call center services, and moved funding that we originally expected to go to our partners and to outreach efforts to increase our staffing, and to purchase of hotspots.
