Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 1701u., mandates that the Department ensure that employment
and other economic opportunities generated by its housing and community development assistance programs are directed toward low- and very low-income
persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing. The regulations are found at 24 CFR Part 135. The
information will be used by the Department to monitor program recipients’ compliance with Section 3, to assess the results of the Department’s efforts
to meet the statutory objectives of Section 3, to prepare reports to Congress, and by recipients as a self-monitoring tool. The data is entered into a data
base and will be analyzed and distributed. The collection of information involves recipients receiving Federal financial assistance for housing and
community development programs covered by Section 3. The information will be collected annually to assist HUD in meeting its reporting requirements
under Section 808(e)(6) of the Fair Housing Act and Section 916 of the HCDA of 1992. An assurance of confidentiality is not applicable to this form.
The Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular A-108 are not applicable. The reporting requirements do not contain sensitive questions. Data is cumulative;
