A. WHAT IS SECTION 3?
Section 3 is a provision of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u)
that is regulated by the provisions of 24 CFR 75. Section 3 regulations 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.
B. PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT
This plan outlines how the City of Edgewater, and its contractors and subcontractors will comply
with HUD's Section 3 requirements in implementing the City of Edgewater's Community
Development Block Grant programs. The City of Edgewater will, to the greatest extent feasible,
ensure that employment and other economic opportunities are directed to low- and very low-
income persons (Section 3 workers and Targeted Section 3 workers) and to eligible businesses
(Section 3 Businesses) and requires the same of its contractors.
The City of Edgewater may amend its Section 3 Policies and Procedures document as
necessary to ensure continued compliance with HUD's requirements and/or to reflect updated
Section 3 guidance and outreach strategies.
C. APPLICABILITY
For public housing financial assistance, all funding is covered, regardless of the amount of
expenditure or size of a contract. This plan applies to development assistance, operating funds,
capital funds, and all mixed -finance development.
For housing and community development financial assistance, this plan applies to housing
rehabilitation, housing construction, and other public construction projects that exceed $200,000
or more of housing and community development financial assistance from one or more HUD
programs. Applicability is determined at the project level.
For projects funded with Lead and Hazard Control and Healthy Homes Programs, this plan
applies to projects that exceed $100,000.
This plan also applies to projects that include multiple funding sources. Multiple funding source
projects include projects that include public housing financial assistance, housing and community
development financial assistance for single or multiple recipients, and the Lead Hazard Control
and Healthy Homes Program.
Section 3 requirements do not apply to: 1) Material Supply Contracts - § 75.3(b), 2) Indian and
Tribal Preferences - § 75.3(c), and 3) Other HUD assistance and other Federal assistance not
2024-R-16 5
subject to Section 3 §75.3 (d). However, for financial assistance that is not subject to Section 3,
recipients are encouraged to consider ways to support the purpose of Section 3.
2. Section 3 Coordinator
The City of Edgewater's Section 3 Coordinator serves as the central point of contact for Section
3 compliance for the City of Edgewater and its subrecipients, contractors and subcontractors
supporting the program. Subrecipients, contractors, subcontractors and others are encouraged
to reach out to [recipient/grantee]'s Section 3 Coordinator with questions regarding Section 3
compliance:

3. Employment, Training, and Contracting Goals
A. SAFE HARBOR COMPLIANCE
The City of Edgewater will be considered to have complied with the Section 3 requirements and
met safe harbor, if they certify that they followed the required prioritization of effort and met or
exceeded the Section 3 benchmarks, absent evidence of the contrary.
Prior to the beginning of work, contractors and subcontractors will be required to certify that they
will follow the required prioritization of effort for Section 3 workers, Targeted Section 3 workers,
and Section 3 business concerns as outlined below in section C. After completion of the project,
on the Section 3 Cumulative Report, contractors and subcontractors will be required to certify that
they followed the prioritization of effort requirements.
If the contractor and subcontractor do not meet the safe harbor requirements, they must provide
evidence that they have made qualitative efforts to assist low and very low-income persons with
employment and training opportunities.
B. SAFE HARBOR BENCHMARKS
The City of Edgewater has established employment and training goals that subrecipients,
contractors, and subcontractors should meet in order to comply with Section 3 requirements
outlined in 24 CFR Part 75.19 - for housing and community development financial assistance.
The safe harbor benchmark goals are as follows:
1) Twenty-five (25) percent or more of the total number of labor hours worked by all workers
on a Section 3 project are Section 3 workers;
Section 3 Labor Hours/Total Labor Hours = 25%
And
2) Five (5) percent or more of the total number of labor hours worked by all workers on a
Section 3 project are Targeted Section 3 workers, as defined at 24 CFR Part 75.21.
Targeted Section 3 Labor Hours/Total Labor Hours = 5%
HUD establishes and updates Section 3 benchmarks for Section 3 workers and/or Targeted
Section 3 workers through a document published in the Federal Register, not less frequently than
2024-R-16
once every 3 years. Given that the Section 3 benchmarks are subject to change every three years
or sooner, the City of Edgewater will review and update the Section 3 Plan every 12 months, as
needed.
It is the responsibility of contractors to implement efforts to achieve Section 3 compliance. Any
contractor that does not meet the Section 3 benchmarks must demonstrate why meeting the
benchmarks were not feasible. All contractors submitting bids or proposals to the City of
Edgewater are required to certify that they will comply with the requirements of Section 3.
