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 and inclusive ways to mirror our community. Harbor Regional Center’s initial LACC Plan included hiring a bilingual Language Accessibility Cultural Specialist to oversee the foundational activities of the plan and assist our organization in understanding the cultural and linguistic needs of our diverse community, while strengthening Harbor’s ability to share information, resources, and supports using a variety of grassroots and digital platforms.
Harbor’s subsequent plans focus on increased representation of all cultures and ethnicities (including Black and LGTBQIA+ communities), improved accessibility, development of information in easy-to-understand plain language, and improved communication/information sharing in English, Khmer, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Traditional Chinese.
