AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM CONTINUED
Background Information:
The United States Congress passed Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968,
as amended (12 U.S.C. 1701 u) ("Section 3"), to further the goal of ensuring that federal funds benefit
the residents of projects funded wholly or in part by those funds.
Section 3 ensures that employment and other economic opportunities generated by certain financial
assistance from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development 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 that provide economic opportunities to low and
very low-income persons.
Section 3 is implemented by regulations of the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (24 CFR Part 135; the "Regulation") that establish the standards and procedures to be
followed to ensure that the objectives of Section 3 are met.
The City of Miami has developed the attached Section 3 Action Plan ("Plan") which provides
strategies to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section 3 and to achieve the objectives of
the Regulation,
The Plan covers the City of Miami Community Development Department's programs, and is limited to
Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Housing
Opportunities for Persons With AIDS and Emergency Shelter Grant housing construction, housing
rehabilitation and public improvement construction projects.
The Plan ensures the incorporation of Section 3 requirements in all procurements of covered
contracts and follows goal requirements set forth in the Regulation for awarding contracts.
The Plan increases the likelihood of success in the recruitment, employment, and utilization of low
and moderate income residents and other eligible persons and businesses by contractors working on
Section 3 covered contracts.
