Section 3 Resources Released

HUD recently released a new Section 3 Landing Page and Section 3 FAQs. HUD’s Section 3 Final Rule became effective July 1, 2021. HUD’s Section 3 Program requires that recipients of certain HUD financial assistance provide training, employment, contracting and other economic opportunities to low- and very low-income persons to the greatest extent possible. HUD’s new Section 3 Landing Page includes resources, training, and news on Section 3. The FAQ provides answers to a number of questions about the transition to and the workings of the new rule. FAQ topics include: general information, applicability, consistency with other laws, recipient responsibilities, certification, economic opportunities and numerical benchmarks, and complaints.
