<br />(2) Organizations that are directly funded under the S+C program may not engage in
<br />inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization as part of
<br />the programs or services funded under this part. If an organization conducts such activities, the
<br />activities must be offered separately, in time or location, from the programs or services funded
<br />under this part, and participation must be voluntary for the beneficiaries of the HUD -funded
<br />programs or services.
<br />(3) A religious organization that participates in the S+C program will retain its independence
<br />from Federal, State, and local governments, and may continue to carry out its mission, including
<br />the definition, practice and expression of its religious beliefs, provided that it does not use direct
<br />S+C funds to support any inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or
<br />proselytization. Among other things, faith -based organizations may use space in their facilities to
<br />provide S+C-funded services, without removing religious art, icons, scriptures, or other religious
<br />symbols. In addition, an S+C-funded religious organization retains its authority over its internal
<br />governance, and it may retain religious terms in its organization's name, select its board
<br />members on a religious basis, and include religious references in its organization's mission
<br />statements and other governing documents.
<br />(4) An organization that participates in the S+C program shall not, in providing program
<br />assistance, discriminate against a program beneficiary or prospective program beneficiary on the
<br />basis of religion or religious belief.
<br />(5) If a State or local government voluntarily contributes its own funds to supplement federally
<br />funded activities, the State or local government has the option to segregate the Federal funds or
<br />commingle them. However, if the funds are commingled, this section applies to all of the
<br />commingled funds.
<br />(d) Maintenance of effort. No assistance received under this part (or any State or local
<br />government funds used to supplement this assistance) may be used to replace funds provided
<br />under any State or local government assistance programs previously used, or designated for
<br />use, to assist persons with disabilities, homeless persons, or homeless persons with disabilities.

<br />(b) Applicants that are not States or units of general local government. The applicant must
