DESCRIPTION

An organization in Oregon is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive homeownership language access, community outreach, and engagement services. The selected vendor will be responsible for promoting homeownership services through culturally responsive marketing campaigns and community events while ensuring that language assistance services are available and well-publicized for individuals with Limited English Proficiency.

The scope also involves developing or updating a language access plan for organizational or homeownership program use.
