Biden-Harris Administration Restores Important Protections for Beneficiaries of Federally Funded Social ServicesNine federal agencies are further advancing President Biden’s call for religious freedom and equity for all by finalizing a rule that restores important religious liberty protections for beneficiaries of federally funded social services, such as job training and job search assistance, academic enrichment opportunities, and housing services. These protections were rescinded by the previous Administration. The nine agencies are jointly issuing this final rule. The rule is responsive to the executive order President Biden signed in February 2021 reestablishing the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, which highlighted the need to strengthen the ability of faith-based and other community organizations to deliver services effectively while also protecting the religious liberty of program beneficiaries.
