DDS Language Access and Cultural Competency Reporting

ELARC_0725_021.jpg

The 2020-21 Budget Act included $16.7 million in ongoing funding for regional centers to improve and promote Language Access and Cultural Competency (LACC) to better support the language needs of individuals with developmental disabilities, their caregivers, and their family members.

The primary purpose of these funds is to improve consumer and family experience and to facilitate more consistent access to information and services for multi-lingual, monolingual, and diverse cultural groups.

Welfare and Institutions Code §4620.4 requires that the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) implement this initiative through its contracts with regional centers.

For additional details regarding LACC funding, please visit the Department of Developmental Services LACC page.
