<br /> ( 3 ) A religious organization that participates in the Supportive Housing Program will retain its
<br /> independence from Federal , State , and local governments , and may continue to carry out its
<br /> mission , including the definition , practice , and expression of its religious beliefs , provided that it
<br /> does not use direct Supportive Housing Program funds to support any inherently religious
<br /> activities , such as worship , religious instruction , or prose lytization . Among other things , faith -
<br /> based organizations may use space in their facilities to provide Supportive Housing Program -
<br /> funded services , without removing religious art, icons , scriptures , or other religious symbols . In
<br /> addition , a Supportive Housing Program -funded religious organization retains its authority over
<br /> its internal governance , and it may retain religious terms in its organization 's name , select its
<br /> board members on a religious basis , and include religious references in its organization ' s
<br /> mission statements and other governing documents .

<br /> program assistance , discriminate against a program beneficiary or prospective program
<br /> beneficiary on the basis of religion or religious belief.
<br /> ( 5 ) Program funds may not be used for the acquisition , construction , or rehabilitation of
<br /> structures to the extent that those structures are used for inherently religious activities . Program
<br /> funds may be used for the acquisition , construction , or rehabilitation of structures only to the
<br /> extent that those structures are used for conducting eligible activities under this part . Where a
<br /> structure is used for both eligible and inherently religious activities , program funds may not
<br /> exceed the cost of those portions of the acquisition , construction , or rehabilitation that are
<br /> attributable to eligible activities in accordance with the cost accounting requirements applicable
<br /> to Supportive Housing Program funds in this part. Sanctuaries , chapels , or other rooms that a
<br /> Supportive Housing Program -funded religious congregation uses as its principal place of
<br /> worship , however, are ineligible for Supportive Housing Program -funded improvements .

<br /> disposition ( see 24 CFR parts 84 and 85 ) .

<br /> commingled funds .
<br /> ( c ) Participant control of site . Where an applicant does not propose to have control of a site or

<br /> the family or individual remains in the same housing without further assistance under this part ,
<br /> that applicant may not request assistance for acquisition , rehabilitation , or new construction .
