F1: Reduce Barriers
Reduce barriers to faith-based and community organizations’ participation in HUD-sponsored programs. Other Information:
HUD’s activities under this objective will help to maximize full participation by faith-based and community organizations,
by identifying barriers that inhibit participation and by assessing procurement and other internal policies and practices.
Building on regulatory reforms put in place in 2003 and 2004, HUD will pursue remediation to any additional barriers, regulatory
or otherwise, that emerge. Although HUD enjoys a long history of partnering with faith-based and community groups, many have
been at a disadvantage. Some have been required to strip themselves of their religious identity and to separate their faith
from their good works. Additionally, some smaller faith-based and community groups lack knowledge about the more technical
aspects of identifying, applying for, and administering government funds.
