About this file

This document is a comprehensive Section 3 Federal Requirements Information package from the City of Pasadena related to HUD housing and community development projects, focusing on providing employment and economic opportunities to low-income individuals. The package outlines detailed guidelines for contractors and businesses participating in HUD-funded projects, including requirements for hiring and contracting with Section 3 workers and businesses. The documentation includes multiple forms such as Business Concern Certification, Worker Self-Certification, Economic Opportunity Plan, and Economic Opportunity Report, which contractors must complete to demonstrate compliance with Section 3 regulations.

The package establishes specific benchmarks for labor hours, including a goal of 25% of total labor hours worked by Section 3 workers and 5% by Targeted Section 3 workers. Income eligibility is defined using HUD's income limits for Los Angeles County, with thresholds for Extremely Low Income (below $25,050/year), Very Low Income (below $41,700/year), and Low Income (below $66,750/year). Businesses can qualify as Section 3 business concerns by meeting criteria such as being at least 51% owned by low-income persons, having over 75% of labor hours performed by Section 3 workers, or being owned by current public housing residents. Non-compliance can result in contract termination, debarment, or suspension from future HUD-assisted contracts.
