Honorable Jerry Taylor
of Boynton Beach
East Boynton Beach Boulevard
nton Beach, FL 33425
r Mayor Taylor:
gratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs, Congress linked the receipt of federal funding to
pliance with federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice
4) is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial assistance from the OJP, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services
PS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) comply with the applicable federal civil rights laws. We at the OCR arc
lable to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with DOJ funding.
uring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
:ral laws that apply to recipients of financial assistance from the DOJ prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin,
;ion, sex, or disability in funded programs or activities, not only in employment but also in the delivery of services or benefits. A federal
also prohibits recipients from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits.
larch of 2013, President Obama signed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The statute amends the Violence
inst Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) by including a nondiscrimination grant condition that prohibits discrimination based on actual or
eived race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The new nondiscrimination grant
iition applies to certain programs funded after October 1, 2013. The OCR and the OVW have developed answers to some frequently
.d questions about this provision to assist recipients of VAWA funds to understand their obligations. The Frequently Asked Questions
available at http: // ojp.gov /about/ocr /vawafaqs.htm.
orcing Civil Rights Laws
recipients of federal financial assistance, regardless of the particular funding source, the amount of the grant award, or the number of
loyees in the workforce, are subject to prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly, the OCR investigates recipients that
he subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition, based on regulatory criteria, the OCR selects a
fiber of recipients each year for compliance reviews, audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing services
tably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal opportunity standards.
viding Services to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Individuals
:cordance with DOJ guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, recipients of federal financial
stance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited English
iciency (LEP). See U.S. Department of Justice, Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition
inst National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons, 67 Fed. Reg. 41,455 (2002). For more information
he civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to LEP individuals, please see the website
: / /www.lep.gov.
uring Equal Treatment for Faith -Based Organizations
DOJ regulation, Equal Treatment for Faith -Based Organizations, 28 G.F.R. pt. 38, requires State Administering Agencies (SAAs) to
: faith -based organizations the same as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits SAAs from making awards or grant
inistration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation. religious name, or the religious composition of its
d of directors.
regulation also prohibits faith -based organizations from using financial assistance from the DOJ to fund inherently (or explicitly)
;ions activities. While faith -based organizations can engage in non - funded inherently religious activities, they must hold them
irately from the program funded by the DOJ, and recipients cannot compel beneficiaries to participate in them. The Equal Treatment
ulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the DOJ are not permitted to discriminate in the
ision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more information on the regulation, please see the OCR's website at
: / /www.o .undo' ov /about /ocr /e ual fbo.htm.
JP . Jg q _
■s and faith -based organizations should also note that the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (Safe Streets Act) of 1968, as
nded. 42 U.S.C. § 3789d(c); the Victims of Crime Act of 1984, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 10604(e); the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
' ention Act of 1974, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 5672(b); and VAWA, Pub. L. No. 113-4, sec. 3(b)(4), 127 Stat. 54, 61 -62 (to be codified
U.S.C. § 13925(b)(13)) contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. Despite these
iiscrimination provisions, the DOJ has concluded that it may construe the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) on a case -by-
basis to permit some faith -based organizations to receive DOJ funds while taking into account religion when hiring staff, even if the
rte that authorizes the funding program generally forbids recipients from considering religion in employment decisions.
se consult with the OCR if you have any questions about the regulation or the application of RFRA to the statutes that prohibit
rimination in employment.
tg Arrest and Conviction Records in Making Employment Decisions
OCR issued an advisory document for recipients on the proper use of arrest and conviction records in making hiring decisions. See
isory for Recipients of Financial Assistance from the U.S. Department of Justice on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
mission's Enforcement Guidance: Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of the
1 Rights Act of 1964 (June 2013), available at http: / /www.ojp. usdoj. gov /labout/ ocr/ pdfs /UseofConviction_Advisory.pdf. Recipients
ild be mindful that the misuse of arrest or conviction records to screen either applicants for employment or employees for retention or
notion may have a disparate impact based on race or national origin, resulting in unlawful employment discrimination. In light of the
isory, recipients should consult local counsel in reviewing their employment practices. if warranted, recipients should also incorporate
nalysis of the use of arrest and conviction records in their Equal Employment Opportunity Plans (EEOPs) (see below).
nplying with the Safe Streets Act
)rganization that is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Safe Streets Act, must meet two
gations: (1) complying with the federal regulation pertaining to the development of an EEOP (see 28 C.F.R. pt. 42, subpt. E) and (2)
nitting to the OCR findings of discrimination (sec 28 C.F.R. §§ 42.204(c), .205(c)(5)).

grantee or a sub - grantee must be voluntary. The Equal Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations
participating in programs directly funded by the Department of Justice are not permitted to discriminate in the provision
of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. Notwithstanding any other special condition of this award, faith -
based organizations may, in some circumstances, consider religion as a basis for employment. See
