Why Section 3?
The purpose of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Section 3 program is to provide economic and employment opportunities to low-income individuals. Specifically, Section 3 requires recipients of certain forms of HUD funding to provide job training, employment, and contracting opportunities to low- and very low-income residents and eligible businesses.
East Metro Civic Alliance is working to ensure Section 3 hiring and contracting obligations are being met to grow economic opportunities to eligible residents and local businesses
