WHEREAS, one of the mandates of the Grant is that the County must comply with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 and 24 CFR Part 135 (collectively �Section 3 Requirements�); and
WHEREAS, the Section 3 Requirements represent HUD�s policy for providing preference to low- and very low-income residents of the community where the funds are spent (regardless of race or gender), and the businesses that substantially employ these persons for new employment, training, and contracting opportunities created from the usage of covered HUD funds; and
WHEREAS, the Section 3 Requirements apply to all Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) and all contractors that receive awards from PHAs, regardless of the dollar amount of the contract; and
