Language Law Access Plan

Executive Order 120, a centralized language access policy for New York City, mandates that all City agencies that provide direct public services create a language access implementation plan in order to ensure meaningful language access to their services.

DHS’ Language Access Coordinator is Cheryl Wertz (wertzc@dss.nyc.gov), Director of Language Access.
