People sell lots of information courses about “government grants”.
If you get one however, you’ll be subject to Federal Title VI regulations and are expected to have procedures in place to accomodate this legislation.
Basically it’s well intentioned… you are supposed to treat all people fairly.
But what does that mean to the government?
At a training session I attended today, it means, for example, that if someone comes in to your place of business and speaks a foreign language, you’re expected to contract with a translation service so you can understand them.
In fact, you can be investigated and prosecuted for not “reaching out” to micro communities in your service area.
There are other things that make you wonder if anybody can actually comply with the law, but if you’re one of those would be businesses that wants to get started by a government grant or funding of some sort, are you adding compliance costs into your business plan?
Start with contracting with a stand by language translation service so that you can serve people who have what the feds call “Low English Proficiency.”
It’s true.
I got it from one of their trainers today.
