No Money to Pay for Interpreters <br />According to the 2017 Language Access in Victim Services survey, the biggest barrier to <br />providing language access to Deaf survivors is not having the financial resources necessary to <br />pay for interpreters. Almost half of the respondents of this survey (47 percent) indicated that <br />not having money for sign language interpreters impedes their ability to serve Deaf survivors. <br />At the same time, only slightly more than one-third of respondents (57 percent) indicated that <br />their organization routinely includes money for sign language interpreters in proposal budgets, <br />which would easily alleviate this financial barrier.[45] 411117% <br />VICTIM SERVICE PROVIDERS <br />REPORT THAT NOT HAVING <br />MONEY IS THE BIGGEST <br />BARRIER TO SECURING <br />INTERPRETERS <br />22 <br />
