ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATION REQUIREMENTS
1. In accordance with the First Amendment of the United States Constitution -
"faith-based principles set forth at 24 CFR 576.406," - HOME assistance may
not, as a general rule, be provided to primarily religious entities for any
activities, including secular activities.
2. The following restrictions and limitations therefore apply to the use of HOME
funds by any provider which represents that it is, or may be deemed to be, a
religious or denominational institution or an organization operated for religious
purposes which are supervised or controlled by, or operates in conjunction
with, a religious or denominational institution or organization.
3. Any religious entity that applies for and is granted HOME funds for public
service must agree to the following:
a. It will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on
the basis of religion and will not limit employment or give preference in
employment to persons on the basis of religion;
b. It will not discriminate against any person applying for such public services
on the basis of religion and will not limit such services or give preference to
persons on the basis of religion;
c. It will provide no religious instruction or counseling, conduct no religious
worship or service, engage in no religious proselytizing, and exert no other
religious influence in the provision of such public services;
d. HOME funds may not be used for the acquisition of property or the
construction or rehabilitation (including historic preservation or removal of
architectural barriers) or structures to be used for religious purposes or
which will otherwise promote religious interests.
4. HOME funds may be used to rehabilitate buildings owned by primarily religious
entities which are to be used for a wholly secular purpose under the following
conditions:
a. The building (or portion thereof) that is to be improved with HOME
assistance has been leased to an existing or newly established wholly
secular entity (which may be an entity established by the religious entity);
b. The HOME assistance is provided to the lessee (and not to the lessor) to
make improvements;
c. The leased premises will be used exclusively for secular purposes available
to all persons regardless of religious affiliation;
d. The lease payments do not exceed fair market value of the premises as
they were before the improvements were made;
e. The portion of the cost of any improvements that also serve a non-leased
portion of the building will be allocated to and paid by the lessor;
f. The lessor enters into a binding agreement that unless the lessee, or a
qualified successor lessee, retains the use of the leased premises for a
wholly secular purpose for at least the useful life of the improvements, the
lessor will pay to the lessee an amount equal to the residual value of the
improvements;
g. The lessee must remit the amount received from the lessor to the recipient
or sub-recipient from which the HOME funds were derived.
I HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ THE SPECIFIC
REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS ATTACHMENT, AND THAT ELIGIBILITY
OF MY ORGANIZATION'S PROJECT DEPENDS UPON COMPLIANCE WITH
THE REQUIREMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS ATTACHMENT.
