About this file

This is an Assurance of Compliance certification document required under Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, applicable to the Harrisburg Housing Authority's vacant unit cleaning services contract in Pennsylvania. The document establishes that the project recipient must comply with federal requirements to provide training, employment, and contracting opportunities to lower-income residents within the project area and award contracts to businesses located in or substantially owned by area residents. The applicant must develop and implement an affirmative action plan, make good faith efforts to provide the required opportunities, and incorporate Section 3 compliance clauses into all project-related contracts. The bidder's Section 3 action plan must be submitted as an attachment to this certification.

Compliance with Section 3 requirements, as outlined in 24 CFR Part 135, is a binding condition of the federal financial assistance provided for the project. Failure to fulfill these requirements subjects the applicant, contractors, subcontractors, and their successors and assigns to sanctions specified in the contract and by federal regulation. The certification must be signed by the applicant or authorized representative with the date and address provided, confirming that the entity is under no contractual or other disability that would prevent compliance with these federal mandates.
