Event Details

Section 3 is a provision of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Act of 1968 that helps foster local economic development, neighborhood economic improvement, and individual self-sufficiency. The Section 3 program requires that recipients of certain HUD financial assistance, to the greatest extent feasible, provide job training, employment, and contracting opportunities for low- or very-low income residents in connection with projects and activities in their neighborhoods.

The intended beneficiaries of Section 3 are 1) public housing residents or local low-income persons and 2) businesses that are owned by or substantially employ those persons. These are referred to as Section 3 residents and Section 3 businesses.

Section 3 is race and gender neutral. MBEs and WBEs must qualify under Section 3 criteria just like all other businesses.

Section 3 is an opportunity to achieve self-sufficiency, not a quota. No one is guaranteed a job or contract. They must be qualified to perform the work or have the capacity to complete a contract. Presenters include HUD, GSA and DLG. We are also being supported by the Kentucky Procurement Assistance Center.
