RECIPIENT is prohibited from discriminating against beneficiaries in providing services or carrying out
activities with such assistance based on religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or a refusal
to attend or participate in a religious practice, while also noting that organizations that participate in programs

accommodate beneficiaries who choose to expend the indirect aid on those organizations’ programs.
Faith based organizations that carry out programs or activities with direct financial assistance are required to
provide written notice of certain protections to beneficiaries and prospective beneficiaries. Specifically, such
organizations are required to give notice to beneficiaries that:
(1) The organization may not discriminate against a beneficiary or prospective beneficiary based on religion, a
religious belief, a refbsal to hold a religious belief, or a refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice;
(2) The organization may not require a beneficiary to attend or participate in any explicitly religious activities
that are offered by the organization, and any participation by the beneficiary in such activities must be purely
voluntary;
(3) The organization must separate, in time or location, any privately funded explicitly religious activities from
activities supported by direct Federal financial assistance;
(4) if a beneficiary objects to the religious character of the organization, the organization must undertake
reasonable efforts to identify and refer the beneficiary to an alternative provider to which the beneficiary has
no such objection; and
(5) A beneficiary or prospective beneficiary may report an organization’s violation of these protections, including
any denials of services or benefits by an organization, by contacting or filing a written complaint to HUD or
the intermediary administering the program, if applicable.
(a) Faith-based organizations must provide this notice to prospective beneficiaries prior to enrollment. In the
event of an emergency or exigent circumstances that make it impracticable to provide the written notice
in advance, prospective beneficiaries may receive the notice at the earliest available opportunity. Current
beneficiaries must receive the notice at the earliest available opportunity.
(b) Faith-based organizations that carry out a program or activity with direct Federal financial assistance are
to promptly undertake reasonable efforts to identify an alternative provider if a beneficiary or prospective
beneficiary objects to the religious character of the organization, and to refer the beneficiary or
prospective beneficiary to an alternative provider to which the beneficiary or prospective beneficiary has
no such objection.
