I wouldn't be so sure. Because I used to help moderate the ACLU message boards (http://forums.aclu.org), I've seen a lot of strange complaints posted including one very similar to the Volokh hypo and Brownstein corollary. I particularly recall a reverend in Oklahoma posting about a married couple in his church who receive both federal Section 8 housing assistance and a state disability check. The state of Oklahoma apparently prohibits the husband from using his disability check to tithe to the church. The couple's apartment manager also says they can't hold Bible study meetings in Section 8 housing. See the December 11, 2004 post in the thread at this link/address: http://forums6.aclu.org/messageview.cfm?catid=81&threadid=7115&STARTPAGE=3 <http://forums6.aclu.org/messageview.cfm?catid=81&threadid=7115&STARTPAGE=3>
The prohibition of using disability checks to make charitable contributions or tithes is unenforceable.
They could not control the putting of cash into donation boxes.
And the prohibition of using housing or apartments for Bible Study is unconstitution, that is
prohibiting the freedom of worship and assembly.
