This website is for the use of HUD program offices, HUD funded recipients, other Federal Agencies working with HUD, and advocacy groups working with limited English proficient (LEP) populations. It provides guidance to HUD’s own program staff to follow to ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to HUD programs and activities. The implementation plans show how HUD programs plan to comply with Executive Order 13166, “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency.” While the Executive Order does not impose any new requirements on Federal agencies, it requires that greater emphasis be put on existing requirements under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to protect persons based on national origin.
