Form HUD-5369C.pdf

Form HUD-5369C is a Section 3 Compliance Report form used by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to track compliance with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968. This form is utilized by recipients of HUD financial assistance to document their efforts in providing economic opportunities and employment to low- and very low-income residents, businesses, and trainees in connection with HUD-assisted projects and activities. The form requires reporting on the number of Section 3 workers and businesses utilized, as well as documentation of outreach and recruitment efforts. The reporting period and submission deadlines are determined by the specific grant or loan agreement associated with the HUD project.

The form serves as a compliance monitoring tool rather than a procurement document and does not contain traditional pricing terms, contract awards, or renewal options. Submission of the Section 3 Compliance Report is mandatory for all HUD grant recipients and loan borrowers as a condition of receiving federal funding. The form requires detailed breakdowns of worker hiring by income level and resident status, as well as identification of Section 3 business concerns that participated in the project. Non-compliance with Section 3 requirements may result in sanctions, and accurate reporting is essential for HUD to verify that recipients are meeting their obligations to provide maximum feasible opportunities for economic and employment advancement to low- and very low-income persons in their service areas.
