HUD Publishes Final Section 3 Rule to Direct Employment and Other Opportunities for Low- and Very Low-Income Persons

By Adam Norlander

On September 29, 2020, HUD published a final rule (the “Final Rule”) re-codifying and revising rules implementing the policies of Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended (“Section 3”).  The goal behind Section 3 is to ensure that employment and other economic opportunities generated by federal financial assistance for housing and community development programs is, to the greatest extent feasible, directed toward low- and very low-income persons, particularly recipients of government assistance.  The Final Rule largely codifies the April 4, 2019, proposed rule, which we summarized here, with a few notable updates outlined in this housing alert.
