ITSAP

Idaho Telephone Service Assistance Program

Beginning July 1, 1998, ITSAP provided assistance to low income participants with installation costs for residential basic telephone service and/or their monthly costs for basic residential telephone service whose household income is at or below 133% of federal poverty guidelines. Currently the assistance provides a maximum benefit amount up to $13.50 off the total monthly bill, and assists with 50% off the installation costs, up to $30.00. 

The expansion of telephone assistance provides another tool to move families towards self-reliance.

Applications are available at both local offices of the Idaho Department of Health & Welfare (IDHW) and Community Action Partnerships (CAPs).
