On November 30, 2020, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development implemented the Section 3 Final Rule which shifted the focus of the provision from new hires for temporary opportunities, to long-term employment and job permanency for low-income workers ("Section 3 workers"). Section 3 is a provision of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u) that is regulated by the provisions of 24 CFR 75. Section 3 regulations ensure that employment and other economic opportunities generated by certain HUD financial assistance shall, to the greatest extent feasible, and consistent with existing Federal, State and Local laws and regulations, be directed to low- and very low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing, and to business concerns which provide economic opportunities to low- and very low-income persons. As required by the Section 3 Final Rule, 25% of all labor hours spent on this project must be performed by a Section 3 worker, and 5% of all labor hours spent on this project must be performed by Targeted Section 3 workers. This information will be reported back to the City on an annual basis. Additional information and definitions pertaining to the Section 3 Final Rule can be found in the bidding documents. Under the Agreement resulting from this offer, the Contractor must comply with all Section 3 Requirements. Frederick M. Stovall, Director Department of Public Works 2-12, 2-19/2024
