HUD presently employs four deaf or hard-of-hearing people at its Headquarters location in Washington, DC who require assistance to communicate within the workplace on a full-time basis, which includes spoken, video conference, and telephone translation.

Additional interpreting services may be required to support new hires in accordance with Section 501 of Rehabilitation Act. The Contractor may be required to travel to

HUDs regional offices to provide interpreting services on an ad hoc basis. Several of these employees hold jobs which require daily communication with other staff members, as well as the public. During Fiscal Year 2021, the Department purchased approximately 9,600 hours of interpreting services to accommodate people with disabilities.
