Overview
Developments awarded federal funds such as HOME, National Housing Trust Fund and Risk Share in the amount of $200,000.00 or more are subject to 24 CFR Part 75 which govern the application of the Section 3 Act (“Section 3”). The funding threshold for Section 3 is determined at the Development Level. When the Section 3 threshold is met, all contractors and subcontractors providing labor on the development are subject to the Section 3 requirements. If the Section 3 threshold has been met, each Owner/Developer and General Contractor must submit a Section 3 Plan, and each Subcontractor who is awarded a contract must submit a Section 3 Plan. Each Contractor/Subcontractor will track their employees labor hours, submit a report quarterly and a report at the completion of construction.
