compliance with Federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OW), U.S. Department of Justice
is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial aid from OW, its component offices and bureaus, the Office on Violence Against
Women (OV\V), and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) comply with applicable Federal civil rights statutes and
regulations. \Ve at OCR are available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with Justice
Department funding.
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
As you know, Federal laws prohibit recipients of financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin,
religion. sex, or disability in funded programs or activities, not only in respect to employment practices but also in the delivery of services or
benefits. Federal haw also prohibits funded programs or activities from discriminating on the basis ofage in the delivery of services or
benefits.
Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Individuals
In accordance with Department of Justice Guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, recipients of
Federal financial assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited
English proficiency (LEP). For more information on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to
LEP individuals, please see the website at http://www.Iep.gov.
Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith -Based Organizations
The Department of Justice has published a regulation specifically pertaining to the finding of faith -based organizations. in general, the
regulation, Participation in Justice Department Programs by Religious Organizations; Providing for Equal Treatment of all Justice
Deportment Program Participants, and known as the Equal Treatment Regulation 28 C.F.R. part 38, requires State Administering Agencies
to treat these organizations the sane as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits State Administering Agencies from making
award or grant administration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation, religious name, or the religious
composition of its hoard of directors.
The regulation also prohibits faith -based organizations from using financial assistance from the Department of Justice to fund inherently
religious activities. While faith -based organizations can engage in non -funded inherently religious activities, they must he held separately
from the Department of Justice funded program. and customers or henelieiaries cannot he compelled to participate in them The Equal
Treatment Regulation also makes clear that orgam7auons participating in programs funded by the Department of Justice are not permitted to
discriminate in the pros isston of scrvvlces on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more infrrnatton on the regulation, please see t)CR's

employees in the workforce, are subject to the prohibitions against unlawlid discrimination. Accordingly, OCR investigates recipients that
are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition, based on regulatory criteria, OCR selects a
number of recipients each year for compliance reviews, audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing services
equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal employment opportunity .standards,
Complying with the Safe Streets Act or Program Requirements
In addition to these general prohibitions, an organization which is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination
