The Department of Community Services and the Charles County Public Library are partnering to distribute Chromebook devices to Charles County households that qualify at or below the national poverty level.  Distribution will begin in June throughout the county at different zip codes and times to accommodate transportation and work schedules.   

 

Eligibility for a device includes:

• One device per household or address.
• Must be a Charles County resident (proof of residency required).
• Recipients must verify that they are enrolled in another federal benefit, such as SNAP, Medicaid, etc., to show that the household income is at or below the two-hundred percent national poverty level.

 

This program is funded through the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. Five hundred Chromebooks will be available for distribution on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Technology support and tutorials will be available for recipients.  This program ends in October 2023.
