The population served includes persons in the geographical area for which services are provided such as a city, county or other regional area.

This is usually a standard part of the contract language for DOEA Recipients and their Sub -grantees, 45 CFR 80.4 (a). 7. Is the race, sex, and national origin of the staff reflective of the general population? For example, if 10% of the population is Hispanic, is there a comparable percentage of Hispanic staff? 8. Where there is a significant variation between the race, sex or ethnic composition of the clients and their availability in the population, the program/facility has the responsibility to determine the reasons for such variation and take whatever action may be necessary to correct any discrimination. Some legitimate disparities may exist when programs are sanctioned to serve target populations such as elderly or disabled persons, 45 CFR 80.3 (b) (6). 9. Do eligibility requirements unlawfully exclude persons in protected groups from the provision of services or employment? Evidence of such may be indicated in staff and client representation (Questions 3 and 4) and also through on-site record analysis of persons who applied but were denied services or employment, 45 CFR 80.3 (a) and 45 CFR 80.1 (b) (2). 10. Participants or clients must be provided services such as medical, nursing and dental care, laboratory services, physical and recreational therapies, counseling and social services without regard to race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age or disability. Courtesy titles, appointment scheduling and accuracy of record keeping must be applied uniformly and without regard to race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age or disability. Entrances, waiting rooms, reception areas, restrooms and other facilities must also be equally available to all clients, 45 CFR 80.3 (b). 11.

The program/facility and all services must be accessible to participants and applicants, including those persons who may not speak English. In geographic areas where a significant population of non-English speaking people live, program accessibility may include the employment of bilingual staff. hi other areas, it is sufficient to have a policy or plan for set -vice, such as a current list of names and telephone numbers of bilingual individuals who will assist 60 ry,:: LIAhAY LU.5. 125 October 2018 — September 2019 in the provision of services, 45 CFR 80.3 (a). 13.

This should include information on their right to file a complaint of discrimination with either the Area Agency on Aging for Southwest Florida, Inc. and/or the Florida Agency of Elder Affairs or the U.S. Agency of HHS. The information may be supplied verbally or in writing to every individual or may be supplied through the use of an equal opportunity policy poster displayed in a public area of the facility, 45 CFR 80.6 (d). 14. Report number of discrimination complaints filed against the program/facility. Indicate the basis, e.g., race, color, creed, sex, age, national origin, disability, retaliation; the issues involved, e.g., services or employment, placement, termination, etc. Indicate the civil rights law or policy alleged to have been violated along with the name and address of the local, state or federal agency with whom the complaint has been filed. Indicate the current status, e.g., settled, no reasonable cause found, failure to conciliate, failure to cooperate, under review, etc. 15. The program/facility must be physically accessible to disabled individuals. Physical accessibility includes designated parking areas, curb cuts or level approaches, ramps and adequate widths to entrances. The lobby, public telephone, restroom facilities, water fountains, information and admissions offices should be accessible. Door widths and traffic areas of administrative offices, cafeterias, restrooms, recreation areas, counters and serving lines should be observed for accessibility. Elevators should be observed for door width, and Braille or raised numbers. Switches and controls for light, heat, ventilation, fire alarms, and other essentials should be installed at an appropriate height for mobility impaired individuals. 16. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that a recipient of federal financial assistance conduct a self- evaluation to identify any accessibility barriers. Self-evaluation is a four -step process: • With the assistance of a disabled individual/organization, evaluate current practices and policies which do not comply with Section 504. • Modify policies and practices that do not meet Section 504 requirements. • Take remedial steps to eliminate any discrimination that has been identified. • Maintain self-evaluation on file. (This checklist may be used to satisfy this requirement if these four steps have been followed.), 45 CFR 84.6. 17.
