1 Limited English Proficiency L. Marcela Vargas Monica Chevalier NC Commerce, Community Investment and Assistance NCCDA May 17, 2012
2 POLICY Applicable Laws Section 601 of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: No person shall be subject to discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin under any program or activity that receives Federal financial assistance. Prohibited Actions per HUD Regs. 24 CFR 1.4 : Denials Differences in treatment Limits on services and facilities Subjected to discrimination
3 POLICY Applicable Laws Continued Law v. Nichols (1974): The U.S. Supreme Court stated that one type of national origin discrimination is discrimination based on a person s inability to speak, read, write, or understand English. Executive Order (Issued in the Federal Register 65 FR on August 16, 2000):Mandated improved access to federally assisted programs and activities for individuals who, as a result of national origin, are limited in their English proficiency
4 POLICY Applicable Laws Continued U.S. Department of Justice: Supported implementation of E.O and issued guidance regarding Enforcement of Title VI of the Civil rights Act of 1964, National Origin Discrimination Against Persons with Limited English Proficiency. (August 16,2000). USDOJ adopts final guidance, Federal Register at 65 FR 41455, June 18, 2002.
5 Recipients Responsibility Entities that are recipients of Federal Financial Assistance must develop a plan for persons of different national origins that cannot speak or read English to ensure that they have meaningful access to all portions of their program or activity, not just those portions that receive HUD funds (e.g. non-federally funded programs).
6 Recipients Responsibility Continued Federally Assisted Recipients: Are required to make reasonable efforts to provide language assistance to ensure meaningful access for LEP persons to the recipient s programs and activities. Recipients should: Conduct a four-factor analysis; Develop a written Language Assistance Plan (LAP); and Provide appropriate language assistance Keep records of due diligence for monitoring
7 Four Factor Analysis The number or proportion of LEP individuals served or encountered in the eligible service population. The frequency with which LEP individuals come in contact with your program, activity or service. The nature and importance of the program, activity, or service. Available resources and cost.
8 Four Factor Analysis Facts Census 2010: Hispanic population has grown 110%. All NC Counties meet the threshold for Spanish Language. Vital Documents should at least be translated in Spanish: Critical for ensuring meaningful access by beneficiaries or potential beneficiaries generally and LEP persons specifically. Local government is responsible for identifying vital documents Towns/Cities will need to look at the county in which they are located to determine thresholds.
9 Language Access Plan Written plan is a strong evidence of compliance: Identify LEP persons who need assistance (after four factor analysis). Adopt language assistance measures. Training of staff, especially those who have frequent contact with the public. Providing notice to LEP persons. Monitoring & updating the Language Assistance Plan (LAP). Grantees must submit a LAP Plan. Grant Representatives will monitor for compliance for LAP plan. Compliance Office will conduct compliance reviews as needed and address issues.
10 Language Access Plan Submission The plan is a plan and policy combined into one. Plans are submitted by local government and not by grant number/ program, for any open grants for the grantee Submit one hard copy, CI does not need original copy. Submit a copy for every open grant under the same grantee. The plan will cover any funds covered under CI- CDBG, CDBG-R and NSP The plan will be effective for a two year period, unless the local government identify other period, but no more than 3 years.
11 Safe Harbor Written translations in each language that constitutes 5% or 1000 persons, whichever is less, of the population of eligible persons to be served or likely to be encountered; or If there are fewer than 50 persons in a language group that reaches the 5% trigger, then recipient provides written notice of their right to receive competent oral interpretation of the written materials, free of cost. There is NO safe harbor for oral interpretation. Reasonable availability is expected based on the four factor analysis.
12 Monitoring Grantees should have a process for: Determining whether new documents, changes in programs, services and activities need to be made accessible to LEP persons; Determining whether changes in demographics, services or needs require reevaluation of LAP; and Seeking feedback from the community the plan serves.
13 Expectations for Compliance with Title VI: Language Access Plan Translate Vital Documents Take appropriate steps to assist persons with Limited English Proficiency State expects grantees to extend reasonable efforts to afford persons with limited English proficiency meaningful access to its programs and services. Submit Language Access Plan Annual Report as a part of the Annual Performance Report (APR)
14 Expectations for Compliance with Title VI: Language Access Plan LEP Phrase for Public Notices, Include both phrases at the end: This information is available in Spanish or any other language upon request. Please contact (Insert Name) at (Insert Phone Number) or at (Insert physical location) for accommodations for this request.

15 Penalties Loss of federal funds Loss of future federal and state funding Subject to legal actions from, legal services organizations and private individuals. HUD EEO Investigations The U.S. Dept. of Justice or the Office for Civil Rights still have the authority to investigate claims of discrimination.
16 Best Practices Grantees submit Language Access Plan using the recommended template from CI Plan addresses LAP policy, translation of vital documents, and requirements for citizen participation Work with other departments (e.g. Human Health) Hang up LAP signs, be prepared to provide assistance to persons with Limited English Proficiency The plan submitted for municipalities and/or County (Cities/Towns can adopt County LAP Document and keep records for monitoring/ reporting. Be prepared to report annually as part of APR Reach out the community: communicate that those types of services are being offered by the Local Government
17 Best Practices Continued Competence of interpreter or translation services (certifications, age, relation to LEP person, conflicts). Training of staff/bilingual staff.
