Understanding the languages spoken in a community is relevant to many operations of state and local governments. Providing documents in multiple languages helps serve Colorado's communities, by providing legible ballots or by publishing program information in languages that specific communities can understand.

The Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) prides itself in Strengthening Colorado Communities. One of the fundamental ways that DOLA accomplishes this mission is by increasing the capacity of local governments to perform their jobs effectively. The purpose of this tool is to provide communities with a comprehensive “menu” of the services, programs, and resources that DOLA has to offer. Local governments can and should use this tool when an opportunity presents itself (e.g., a new town board or embarking on a comprehensive plan update). Combining these opportunities with the range of tools and services available from DOLA allows communities to better develop local capacity to achieve goals., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed March 2016)
