Using this information, LSC can learn how each applicant proposes to diminish client access barriers including cultural, geographic, and language barriers; how the applicant will engage clients with access barriers; the racial, ethnic and gender distribution of the applicant's staff; strategies used to recruit, retain, and promote diverse staff; training events that address diversity; and how the organization is building leadership that is diverse.
The data can be used to see how access barriers can be lessened.
