Explicitly religious activities. If an organization engages in explicitly religious activities (including activities that involve overt religious content such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization), the explicitly religious activities must be offered separately, in time or location, from the programs or activities supported by direct Federal financial assistance and participation must be voluntary for the beneficiaries of the programs or activities that receive direct Federal financial assistance.

Nothing in this part restricts HUD's authority under applicable Federal law to fund activities, that can be directly funded by the Government consistent with the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Explicitly religious activities. (a) Organizations that receive direct financial assistance from DHS to par- ticipate in or administer any social service program may not use direct Federal financial assistance that it re- ceives (including through a prime or sub-award) to support or engage in any explicitly religious activities (includ- ing activities that involve overt reli- gious content such as worship, reli- gious instruction, or proselytization) or in any other manner prohibited by law.

Nothing in this part restricts HUD’s authority under applicable Federal law to fund activities, that can be directly funded by 26 the Government consistent with the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. 27 (f) Intermediary responsibilities to ensure equal participation of faith-based organizations in HUD programs. If an intermediary - acting under a contract, grant, or other agreement with the Federal Government or with a State, tribal or local government that is administering a program supported by Federal financial assistance - is given the authority to select a nongovernmental organization to receive Federal financial assistance under a 1 contract, grant, sub-grant, sub-award, or cooperative agreement, the intermediary must ensure that such 2 organization complies with the requirements of this section. If the intermediary is a nongovernmental organization, it retains all other rights of a nongovernmental organization under the program’s statutory and 3 regulatory provisions. 4 (g) Nondiscrimination requirements. 5 Any organization that receives Federal financial assistance under a HUD program or activity shall not, in providing services with such assistance or carrying out activities with such assistance, discriminate against a 6 beneficiary or prospective beneficiary on the basis of religion, religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious 7 belief, or a refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice. However, an organization that participates in a program funded by indirect Federal financial assistance need not modify its program or activities to 8 accommodate a beneficiary who chooses to expend the indirect aid on the organization's program and may require attendance at all activities that are fundamental to the program.
