Language Access
HUD’s Office of Housing Counseling (OHC) complies with affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH) principles and prioritizes language assistance to persons who are Limited English Proficient (LEP), as described in the Housing Counseling Handbook. This page provides resources related to language access and alternative formats for delivering housing counseling services.
Limited English Proficient Toolkit
This toolkit, released in March 2021, explains the LEP requirements and recommendations for housing counseling agencies.
National Association of the Deaf (NAD) Resources
This page provides helpful resources for employers, businesses, and government agencies who need to provide equal opportunity and equal access for deaf or hard of hearing people.
Outreach Materials in Multiple Languages
To assist in conducting outreach to LEP communities, HUD has made outreach flyers, brochures, and social media content available in a variety of languages.
