As a recipient of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) received through the State of Washington, the Board of County Commissioners for Grant County, Washington (BOCC) is required to comply with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (as amended). This is HUD's legislative directive for providing preference to low and very low income residents of the local community (regardless of race or gender), and the businesses that substantially employ these persons, for new employment, training, and contracting opportunities resulting from HUD-funded projects. This Section 3 Plan is specifically adopted and enacted for CDBG projects.
Section 3 requires the BOCC to ensure, to the greatest extent feasible and consistent with existing federal, state and local laws and regulations, that employment and contracting opportunities are provided to low and very low income persons on projects awarded with CDBG funds exceeding $100,000.00. The BOCC is to encourage geographic preference in the evaluation of bids and proposals on CDBG projects the greatest extent feasible.
