Affirmative steps must be taken to communicate with people who need services or information in a language other than English. A policy must be developed to serve applicants, participants, and/or persons eligible for housing assistance and support services.
Contractor must analyze the various kinds of contacts it has with the public, to assess language needs and decide what reasonable steps should be taken. In order to determine the level of access needed by LEP persons, the following four factors must be balanced:
i. The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be applying for program services;
ii. The frequency with which LEP persons utilize these programs and services; iii. The nature and importance of the program, activity, or service provided; and iv. The benefits from providing LEP services, and the resources available and costs to the CDC for those services.
Balancing these four factors will ensure meaningful access by LEP persons to critical services while not imposing undue burdens on the Contractor. Contractor shall develop and implement a LEP policy consistent with the above guidelines and provide City with copies of its LEP Policy.

The costs would be allowable if the award were not suspended or expired normally at the end of the funding period in which the termination takes effect.
d. Relationship to debarment and suspension: The enforcement remedies identified in this section, including suspension and termination, do not preclude Contractor from being subject to 2 CFR part 2424 (see 24 CFR §85.35).
