Section 3 applies to grantees and subrecipients that receive assistance exceeding $200,000 in certain types of HUD funding, including CDBG funding, and to contractors and subcontractors that enter into contracts in excess of $100,000 funded by certain types of HUD funding, including CDBG funds, for any activity that involves housing construction, rehabilitation, and demolition, or other public construction.

SECTION 3 REQUIREMENTS. (a) The work to be performed under this contract is subject to the requirements of Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 1701-u (Section 3). HUD-assisted Section 3 Project employment opportunities shall be directed to low- and very low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing or residents of the community in which the Federal assistance is spent.
SECTION 3 REQUIREMENTS.

Section 3 compliance requires all Respondents performing work on behalf of the DCHA or any of its subsidiaries to ensure that training, employment, contracting and other economic opportunities generated by the Federal financial assistance shall, to the greatest extent feasible, be directed toward low-income and very-low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing.

Another option is to subcontract to a Section 3 business concern. In accordance with the HUD regulations, 10% of the subcontract may be awarded to section 3 business concerns for construction and 3% of the subcontract may be awarded to section 3 business concerns for non- construction contracts. A 4th option for compliance is to propose a unique program that provides internships for residents or program participants or, provides pro xxxx services to DCHA program participants or Section 3 businesses. Cash donations to DCHA’s Section 3 Fund are presented as a “last resort option” to Respondents who have exhausted all priority preferences and are unable to hire or train Section 3 individuals for the following reasons: • The contract is immediate and the period is minimal or • The skill sets required by the staff is too technical or too advanced for the Section 3 individuals seeking employment. • Cash donations will be equivalent to the hourly wage rate of the lowest paid employee on the project, times 10% of the total labor hours for the task being performed.
