4 LEP Philadelphia in Census Data
5 For many Immigrants: Limited English Proficiency Anti-Immigrant Legislation Adult literacy issues Fear of government Unfamiliarity with access to City services and resources Abusive employers Lack of access to economic opportunity Challenges to Integration
6 Launched in 2003 Mission: To strengthen the relationship between diverse linguistic communities and the City by improving Philadelphia s language accessibility and by ensuring that English language proficiency is not a barrier to accessing City services and programs What is Global Philadelphia?
7 Project Manager David Torres Managing Director s Office Global Philadelphia Ambassadors City Departmental Liaisons Global Philadelphia: Personnel
8 Mandates push - Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of Federal Executive Order The Managing Director s Directive 62 of December 3, The Mayor s Executive Order of June 9, 2008 Opportunities pull - Respond to demographic changes - Eliminate disparities - Attract and retain population - Support business growth and development - Enhance public health and safety - Continue to grow Philadelphia as an international hub Why is Philadelphia committed to improving access to City services for LEP individuals?
9 Improve the provision and quality of City services by increasing language accessibility for LEP residents & visitors Technical support from MDO and community partners All City agencies create Language Access Plans, Protocols Contracts with language access service vendors Staff Training Monitoring of language access svcs utilization trends Ongoing dialogue with stakeholders Performance Management Strengthen and spur economic development in the City s linguistically and ethnically diverse neighborhoods Global Philadelphia Approach

15 City Wide: Increasing Utilization of Telephonic Interpretation Services
16 Language access service utilized in almost all City agencies. Policy and plans developed by most. Increasing utilization of language access services across City operating departments Created new resources: Language Access I Speak Cards and Translation Station Piggyback provision in language access contracts Recent Progress
17 Cultural sensitivity training being provided in various departments. Created new website and Facebook page: Recent Progress
18 Lack of funding Cross-departmental coordination Competing priorities in difficult budgetary climate Frequency of demand means some City employees can still get by without providing language services Resistance to change at front line staff level Different departmental cultures require customized approaches Dispersion of city services System that offers few rewards/incentives to bilingual employees Challenges
19 Immigrant integration is a two-way process in which newcomers and the receiving society work together to build secure, vibrant and cohesive communities. (Source: Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees) Defining Integration
