Welcome to California's BEAD Grant Program
California’s Broadband Equity, Access & Deployment (BEAD) Program represents another critical step in the state’s commitment through Broadband for All, to close the digital divide in California. BEAD prioritizes unserved and underserved locations to expand economic growth and job creation, as well as access to healthcare and essential services across the spectrum for students, families and businesses.
Always Transparent
California is committed to transparency throughout each step of the BEAD Program. Visit the CPUC's BEAD Program webpage to learn more, BEAD Events for recordings of webinars and office hours, and BEAD Resources for useful tools to prepare to engage in the BEAD Program in California.
