Section 3

Each respondent to CHA procurement opportunities must comply with the CHA Section 3 Policy, pursuant to the Housing and Development Act of 1968, as amended by Section 915 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992.  The purpose of Section 3 is to make HUD-financed employment and economic opportunities available to low-income residents, particularly those who live in public housing or participate in a voucher program.  CHA’s Section 3 policy also lends support to businesses that provide economic opportunities to low-income residents. 

“Please be advised that while the CHA is posting a list of businesses that have been certified as “Disadvantaged Business Enterprises,” CHA makes no representation that any such business also qualifies as a Section 3 business under relevant federal regulations.  It is the bidder’s sole responsibility to determine whether any proposed Section 3 business concern qualifies under relevant federal regulations.”
