No. It is not an interference motor, and it should not be harmed by the belt breaking.
You can see the serpentine belt diagram from the 2000 Ford Focus online at places like Focus Fanatics. You can also find this diagram at Go Parts.

TRING TO PLACE BELT BACK ON A 2000 FORD TURUAS CAN YOU HELP WITH ROUTING
Yes , the 2.0 liter ( DOHC and SOHC ) engines in a 2000 Ford Focus have timing BELTS
The Ford recommended mileage for replacing the timing belt is 120,000 miles, for the 2000 Focus. I doubt that the engine changed much, if any, between 2000 and 2001.
Timing belt is close to breaking ....or belt is out of adjustment
find tentioner pull counter clockwise. this will relive presure/remove belt. Reinstall
Yesterday! Change it ASAP. 100,000
Whatever component that it drives is probably locking up.
You can find a schematic for the serpentine belt on a 2000 Ford Focus 2.0L SOHC motor without A/C in the owner's manual. You can also check with local auto part stores.
