This document is a set of provisions and procedures for compliance with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Act of 1968, specifically related to employment and contracting opportunities for low-income residents and businesses in areas receiving HUD assistance. The document outlines requirements for contractors and subcontractors with contracts exceeding $100,000, mandating that they identify and target employment and training positions for Section 3 area residents, and give preference to Section 3 business concerns when awarding subcontracts.

The provisions define key terms such as Section 3 Covered Contracts (contracts over $200,000), Section 3 Residents (low-income individuals residing in the project area), and Section 3 Businesses (businesses meeting specific ownership and employment criteria). Contractors must identify the number of positions needed, determine currently filled positions, establish targets for Section 3 resident employment, and notify labor organizations of job opportunities. The document includes certification requirements, potential sanctions for non-compliance, and appendix forms for workforce breakdown and business utilization tracking. The goal is to maximize employment and contracting opportunities for low-income residents and businesses in areas receiving HUD funding.
