Section 3 Economic Benefits


"Every year, HUD funds create thousands of jobs across the country that range from construction to professional services like accounting or engineering. Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 ensures that HUD-funded jobs, training and contracts are provided to local low-income residents, particularly those who reside in public housing and businesses that employ them. Section 3 helps foster local economic development, neighborhood improvement, and individual self-sufficiency. To learn more, view Section 3: Connecting Low-Income Residents With Opportunity document."
