<br />State Administering Agencies and faith-based organizations should also note that the Safe Streets Act, as <br />amended; the Victims of Crime Act, as amended; and the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, as <br />amended, contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. These employment <br />provisions have been specifically incorporated into 28 C.F.R. Part 38.1(f) and 38.2(f). Consequently, in many <br />circumstances, it would be impermissible for faith-based organizations seeking or receiving funding authorized <br />by these statutes to have policies or practices that condition hiring and other employment-related decisions on the <br />religion of applicants or employees. Programs subject to these nondiscrimination provisions may be found on <br />OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/. Questions about the regulation or the statutes that prohibit <br />discrimination in employment may be directed to this Office. <br /> <br />Ifwe can assist you in any way in fulfilling your civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of Federal funding, <br />please call OCR at (202) 307-0690 or visit our website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~ J.
