How PHAs Can Use Funds to Meet LEP Requirements

HUD has recently published new guidance.

Individuals who don’t speak English as their primary language and have limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand English may be a person with limited English proficiency (LEP). These individuals may be entitled to language assistance for a particular service, benefit, or encounter. Federal laws applicable to language access include Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Title VI regulations, and Executive Order 13166.
