Section 3 is a provision of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Act of 1968. The purpose of Section 3 is to ensure that employment and other economic opportunities generated by certain HUD financial assistance shall, to the greatest extent feasible, and consistent with existing Federal, State and local laws and regulations, be directed to low-and very low income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing, and to business concerns which provide economic opportunities to low- and very low-income persons.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s regulations implementing Section 3 are found at 24 CFR Part 75. See HUD's website for additional information on Section 3

When Section 3 is applicable, the Housing Authority requires its contractors to demonstrate good faith efforts to comply, to the greatest extent feasible, with Section 3 and HACLA's Section 3 Policy and Compliance Plan.

HACLA's Board of Commissioners is vested in ensuring that HACLA has a robust Section 3 plan and that economic opportunities are directed to Section 3 Businesses and Section 3 Residents to the greatest extent possible.

Questions about the Section 3 program can be directed the Section 3 Compliance Administrator via e-mail at section3@hacla.org.

  I’m glad that there are programs like Section 3 to motivate and give residents hope. Sometimes, all we need is a chance that could change our lives forever. I can’t thank KDG, HACLA and its Section 3 Program enough. It sure has changed my life for the better!

  My daughter is my motivation. I want to be a good example for her. The fact that the Housing Authority brings all types of resources to residents right in front of my door is very helpful for me.

  I can learn something new every day. Why would I slow down? As an ex-military man I am used to being active to keep me going.

  I never even imagined that I can do this kind of work. I thought it is for people with an advanced education.

  I want to leave a mark and be a role model for my siblings and the community. Instead of hanging out with friends all day long, youth should think about their future.

  Hopefully I will save enough money in the near future and afford to buy a house. I want to make the subsidized unit available to others in need. Maybe another single mother can have a chance to better her life with this assistance.
