regulations We at OCR are mailabb:to help you and your urganizanon meet the cMI rights requirements that came with Justice
Department funding
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
As you know,Federal lays prohibit recipients of Financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race,color,national origin,
religion„sex,or disabahly in funded programs or acti%itics,not only in respect to employment practices but also in the dch%cry of services or
benefits Federal la%v also prohibits funded programs or ac6%i6ei from discriminating on the basis ofage in the delivery of sLry ices or
benefits.
Providing Services to Limited English Prialiclency.(C. PI Individuals

Lnglish proficiency(LEP) For more information on the civil rights respin isibilines that recipients have in providing language services to

Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations
The Department of Justice has published a regulation specifically pertaining to the funding of faith-based organizations.In general.the
regulation.Participation in Justice Department Programs by Religious[Organizations:Providing for Equal Treatment ofall Justice
Department Program Participants,and known as the Equal,ri-calmem Regulation 28 C KR part 38,requires Slate Administering Agencies
to treat these organizations the same as any olhurapplicant or recipient.The regulation prohibits State Administering Agencies groin making
award or grant administration dMISiOnS On the basis of an organization's ge',igious characlerciraffi hation-reli�
!mus name,o
composition of its board of directors. r the religious
The regulation a6a prohibits faith-based organizations from using I'manciall assistance from the Department of justice to fund inherently
religious activities.While faith-based Organizations can engage in non funded uihcrcntry religious activities,,they must be held separately
From the Department of Justice filoded program,and customers or beneficiaries cannot be ounpelled to participate in theta,The Equal
Trcauncru Regulation also makes clear that organi7ations participating in programs funded by the Department of Justice arc not permined to
discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a bcricriciary's religion For more information on the regulation,please see OCR's
%k cbsitc at hitp '%w%v,qjp usdiaj.gov/ocr cilbo.hrm.
Stage Administering Agencies and Faith-based organizations should also note that the Safe Streets %ct,as amcn&&the Victims OfCnme
Act,as amended.and the Juvenile Justice and DclmqucncO Preventriwi Act,as amended.contain prohibitions against discrimination on the
basis of religion in employment.Despite Itiesu nondiscrimination prow mons the Justice Department has concluded that the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act(RFRA)is reasonably construed,on a LaSC'bycasc basm,to require that its funding agencies permit faith-based
organizations applying for funding under the applicable program statutes both to receive DO]funds and to continue considering religion
when hiring staff.even if the statute that authorizes the funding program genemAy forbids c.onsidering of religion in employment decisions
by grantees.
Questions about the regulation or the appfic ation of RFRA to the slalutes shat prohibit discnimnation in employment may be directed to this
Office

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program(JAG)allows states and local governments to

grant
The specified activities requiring environmental analysis are:
a. New construction,
b. Any renovation or remodeling of a property located in an environmentally or historically sensitive area,
