Income limits

For Section 3 workers and businesses, income limits are based on the one-person household income limit. Income limits are also based on where the worker or business is located and not where the project or service area is located.

Section 3 is part of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Act of 1968. The provision encourages opportunities for economic inclusion by involving low-income local vendors, businesses and employees in projects that are funded by federal sources and covered by the Section 3 Act. Section 3 encourages economic opportunities such as employment, training and education as well as directing contracts and business opportunities to low and very low-income individuals who live in the area where a HUD-assisted project is located.
