Q&A

Chair asks language access

New York City Council · Oct 27, 2026 · starts 1:19:43 · 32 sec

Won asks whether OCH outreach has language access and what languages are available. G. Lee says English is currently primary, with plans to expand, and OCH leans on referral partners for other languages.

Julie Won

Do you have language access in all of your efforts?

Julie Won

And if so, what languages are available for your outreach?

Member of the Public - G. Lee

Currently, English is the primary language.

Julie Won

Do you have plans to expand to other languages?

Member of the Public - G. Lee

Yes, of course.

Member of the Public - G. Lee

And also, like, our referral partners also are equipped to provide other languages.

Member of the Public - G. Lee

So we lean heavily on our referral source partners and their agencies to support us there.

Julie Won

Okay, I hope you expand to at least five languages, not just leaning on the referrals.
