from the Safe Streets Act's religious nondiscrimination provision in awarding World Vision a 
grant pursuant to the JJDPA.  World Vision is an entity protected by RFRA; its programs at issue 
here are an exercise of religion; OJP reasonably may conclude that imposing the 
nondiscrimination requirement on World Vision would substantially burden the organization's 
religious exercise; and, in this case, the burden would not be justified by a compelling 
governmental interest.  We conclude that OJP would be within its legal discretion, under the 
JJDPA and under RFRA, to accommodate World Vision in this manner, consistent with the 
President's direction that "a faith-based organization that applies for or participates in a social 
service program supported with Federal financial assistance may retain its independence and 
may continue to carry out its mission, including the definition, development, practice, and 
expression of its religious beliefs," Exec. Order No. 13279, § 2(f), 3 C.F.R. at 260, and that 
religious organizations that administer federally funded social services be exempted from 
restrictions on religious hiring under RFRA where it is reasonably construed to require that 
result.
