In establishing financial assistance programs,Congress linked the receipt of(Federal finding to compliance with Federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights(OCR),Office of Justice Programs(OF?),U.S.Department of Justice is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial aid from OJP,its component offices and bureaus,the Office on Violence Against Women(OV W),and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services(COPS)comply with applicable Federal civil rights statutes and regulations. We at OCR are available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with Justice Department finding. 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 law also prohibits funded programs or activities from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits. In addition to these general prohibitions,your organization,which is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act(Safe Streets Act)of 1968, 42 U.S.0 §3789d(e),must meet two additional requrtements:(1)complying with Federal regulations pertaining to the development of an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan(ESOP),28 C F.R.§42.301-.308,and(2)submitting to OCR Findings of Discrimination(see 28 CT R.§§42.205(5)or 31.202(5)). Complying with the ESOP Requirement In accordance with Federal regulations,and Assurance No.6 in the Standard Assurances,your organization must comply with the following EEOP reporting requirements. If your organization has received an award for$500,000 or more and has 50 or more employees(counting both full-and part-lime employees but excluding political appointees),then it has to prepare an ESOP and submit it to OCR for review within 60 days from the date of this letter. For assistance in developing an ESOP,please consult OCWs website at h4.//Nvww.ojp,usdoj.gov/ocr/. You may also request technical assistance from an EEOP specialist at OCR by dialing(202)616-3209. If your organization received an award between$25,000 and$500,000 and has 50 or more employees,your organization still has to prepare an EEOP,but it does not have submit the EEOP to OCR for review. Instead,your organization has to maintain the ESOP on file and make it available for review on request. In addition,your organization has to complete Section B of the enclosed Certification Form and return it to OCR. If your organization received an award for less than$25,000,or if your organization has less than 50 employees, regardless of the amount of the award;or if your organization is a medical institution,educational institution, nonprofit organization or Indian tribe,then your organization is exempt from the ESOP requirement. However, your organization must complete Section A of the enclosed Certification Form and return it to OCR. Submitting Findings of Discrimination In the event a Federal or State court or Federal or State administrative agency makes an adverse finding of discrimination against your organization after a due process hearing,on the ground of race,color,religion, national origin,or sex,your organization must submit a copy of the finding to OCR for review. Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency(LEP)Individuals In accordance with recent Department of Justice Guidance pertaining to Title VII 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 Chat recipients have in providing language services to LEP individuals,please see the website www.lep.gov. Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipicnts If your organization makes subawards to other agencies,you are responsible for assuring that subrecipients also comply with all of the applicable Federal civil rights laws,including the requirements pertaining to developing and submitting an ESOP,reporting Findings of Discrimination,and providing language services to LEP persons. Stale agencies that make subawards must have in place standard grant assurances and review procedures to demonstrate that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of subrecipients. Enforcing Civil Rights Laws All recipients of Federal financial assistance,regardless of the particular funding source,the amount of the grant award,or the number of employees in the workforce,are subject to the prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly,OCR investigates recipients that are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups, hr 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. Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations The Department of Justice has published a regulation specifically pertaining to the funding of faith-based organizations. In general,the regulation,28 C.F.R.part 38,requires State Administering Agencies to treat these organizations the same as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits Stale Administering Agencies train making award or grant administration decisions on the basis of an organizations religious character or affiliation,religious name,or the religious composition of its board of directors. The regulation also prohibits faith-based organizations from using direct 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 be held separately from the Department of Justice funded program,and customers or beneficiaries cannot be compelled to participate in them. The Equal Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs directly funded by the Department of Justice arc not permitted to discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion For more information on the regulation,please sec OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/etfbo him. Stale Administering Agencies and faith-based organizations should also note that the Safe Streets Act,as amended;the Victims of Crime Act,as amended;and the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act,as amended,contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment.These employment provisions have been specifically incorporated into 28 C.F.R.Part 38.1(f)and 38.2(f). Consequently,in many circumstances,it would be impermissible for faith-based organizations seeking or receiving funding authorized by these statutes to have politics or practices that condition hiring and other employment-related decisions on the religion of applicants or employees. Programs subject to these nondiscrimination provisions may be found on OCR's wcbsitc at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/. Questions about the regulation or the statutes that prohibit discrimination in employment may be directed to this Office. If we can assist you in any way in fidfilling your civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of Federal funding, please call OCR at(202)307-0690 or visit an wcbsitc at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/ Sincerely, A&A---- Michael L.Alston Director cc: Grant Manager Financial Analyst City Council Minutes March 16,2005 Page 6 11.
