The Project you are working on has received federal funds that have triggered the requirements of 24 CFR Part 75 specific to Section 3. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has set the required Section 3 benchmark goals for project labor hours worked by Section 3 Workers at 25% or more of the total labor hours worked and 5% or more of the total labor hours worked by Targeted Section 3 Workers.

Once completed, you must submit this form (including page 1) to Minnesota Housing in conjunction with the Project’s monthly draw requests.
