Section 3 requires that local governments that receive federal housing funds ensure the jobs and contracts the funds create go to residents of low-income areas. I first discuss HUD Section 3\u2019s contents and legislative history, finding an ambitious mandate to train and contract with residents of low-income areas. Next, I describe HUD\u2019s long struggle to monitor and enforce that mandate and low-income residents\u2019 efforts to self-organize and claim their mandated benefits. Finding little federal enforcement, this Note studies Section 3 compliance and related local hiring laws in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philadelphia\u2019s policies, maintained by the City of Philadelphia and the independent Philadelphia Housing Authority, are ambitious but underdeveloped. To find opportunities to improve them, the Note analyzes various cities\u2019 public works local hiring policies and assesses best practices for achieving Section 3\u2019s goals. Finally, the Note argues Philadelphia\u2019s agencies have the potential to effectively coordinate a nation-leading Section 3 policy by setting realistic goals and collaborating with each other and with unions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.georgetown.edu\/poverty-journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2024\/05\/31.3-Lutz.pdf\">Read the full article here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Note gives an overview of Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, commonly known as HUD Section 3.
