HUD HCV Guidebook § 12.3
All notifications and communications must ensure effective communication for persons with disabilities. PHAs must provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services necessary to ensure effective communication, which includes ensuring that information is provided in appropriate accessible formats as needed, e.g., Braille, audio, large type, assistive listening devices, and sign language interpreters. PHAs must also take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access to their programs and activities to individuals with limited English proficiency. See HUD’s Final Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients: Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons (LEP Guidance) (72 FR 2732). LEP guidance and LEP information is available on HUD’s website.
