Section 3

The Section 3 program requires that recipients of certain HUD financial assistance, to the greatest extent possible, provide job training, employment, and contract opportunities for low- or very-low income residents in connection with projects and activities in their neighborhoods.

 

If you live in government-assisted housing or if your household income falls below HUD's income limits, you may qualify as a Section 3 resident or Section 3 business concern.  Learn more about Section 3. For more information regarding Section 3 requirements, see Section 3 Compliance Policy Handbook for Developers and Contractors.
