LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 TITLE VI) <br />All subrecipients must comply with the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) prohibition <br />against discrimination on the basis of national origin, which requires that subrecipients of federal <br />financial assistance take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to persons with limited English <br />proficiency (LEP) to their programs and services. Providing meaningful access for persons with LEP <br />may entail providing language assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation. <br />Executive Order 13166, improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency <br />(August 11, 2000), requires federal agencies to issue guidance to recipients, assisting such <br />organizations and entities in understanding their language access obligations. DHS published the <br />required recipient guidance in April 2011, DHS Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients <br />Regarding Title Vl Prohibition Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient <br />Persons, 76 Fed. Reg. 21755-21768, (April 18, 2011). The Guidance provides helpful information such <br />as how a recipient can determine the extent of its obligation to provide language services; selecting <br />language services; and elements of an effective plan on language assistance for LEP persons. For <br />additional assistance and information regarding language access obligations, please refer to the DHS <br />Recipient Guidance at https://www.dhs.aoy/guidance-published-help-department-supported- <br />organizations-provide-meaningful-access-people-limited and additional resources on <br />http*//www.lep.gov. <br />B.
