- Faith-Based Organizations – Faith-based organizations are an important part of the social service network. HUD issued a final rule amendment allowing faith-based organizations to compete for CDBG funding on the same basis as other nonprofits. However, faith-based organizations cannot use these funds to support worship, religious instruction, or proselytization. Religious activities must not be a part of the CDBG supported activity and cannot be a requirement for receiving funded services. Faith based organizations that participate in this NOFO will retain independence from federal, state, and local governments and may carry out its mission provided CDBG funds are not used to support religious activities. Faith-based organizations that participate in this NOFO shall not discriminate against a program beneficiary on the basis of religion or religious belief.
