shelter, protection, rehabilitation, discipline, transportation, etc.). YES NO What are they? Have you determined the impact on actual and potential beneficiaries of delays in the provision of services or participation in your programs and/or activities (economic, educational, health, safety, housing, ability to assert rights, transportation costs, etc.)? YES NO If so, what are they? Section IV: Resources Once you have reviewed your demographics, frequency of contact, and importance of your programs, activities, or services, a good self-assessment will identify the resources (dollars and personnel) available to ensure the provision of language assistance to LEP persons participating in your programs and/or activities. The level of resources and the costs may have an impact on the nature of the language assistance provided. Smaller recipients with more limited budgets are not expected to provide the same level of language services as larger recipients with large budgets. In addition, "reasonable costs" may become "unreasonable" where the costs substantially exceed the benefits. Reduction of costs for language services can be accomplished by such options as the use of technology (such as sharing through the internet, telephonic language lines, etc.); the sharing of language assistance materials and services among and between recipients, advocacy groups, and Federal grant agencies; and reasonable business practices. You should carefully explore the most cost-effective means of delivering competent and accurate language services before limiting services due to resource concerns. Have you identified the resources needed to provide meaningful access for LEP persons? YES NO Are those resources currently in place? YES NO Is there a staff member in your organization assigned to coordinate language access activities? YES NO If so, please identify by name or title, etc. Have you identified the points of contact where a LEP person interacts with your organization? YES NO
