The LACC program is an annual initiative following the Department’s April 2022 directive Funding to Improve Language Access and Cultural Competency. The primary purpose of the LACC funding is to improve individual and family experience and to facilitate more consistent access to information and services for multi-lingual, monolingual, and diverse cultural groups.
The Department approves regional center annual plans that are specifically designed to improve and promote the Language Access and Cultural Competency Program in regional centers’ catchment areas.
Harbor Regional Center’s Language Accessibility & Cultural Competency (LACC) Plan incorporates the input and suggestions our community has provided. The community in which Harbor serves has evolved and grown over the past decade, and Harbor Regional Center is committed to providing information, services, and support in culturally inclusive ways to serve our diverse community. Harbor Regional Center’s LACC Plans strengthen Harbor’s ability to provide services through innovation and person-centered practices, ensuring access to all.
