As you say, in small, locally run shelters, etc., people do tend to wear many hats. Those hired under these conditions would reasonably be expected to fit the church's hiring criteria. Though, in those circumstances, the federal funds should be going toward supplies, not staffing, since the staff is already there, doing the job.
Since the organization in the TLP was the Salvation Army, a huge organization with thousands of employees, clearly there will be plenty of positions which could reasonably be done by "secular" employees. Given their scale of operations, it is possible, or even probable, that they will be hiring people specifically for federally funded projects. |
