Establishment of the White House Faith Office

What it means

Establishes the White House Faith Office within the Executive Office of the President to coordinate support for faith-based organizations. The office will help religious groups compete for federal grants, reduce regulatory barriers, and protect religious liberty while supporting their community service work.

Expected impact

• Increased participation of faith-based organizations in federal programs and funding opportunities
• Greater coordination between government agencies and religious institutions on social services
• Potential expansion of religious liberty protections for faith-based groups receiving federal funding
• Enhanced support for faith-based initiatives addressing family strengthening, education, addiction recovery, and prisoner reentry programs
• New requirements for agencies to designate Faith Liaisons within 90 days
