Projects that must comply with Section 3 requirements are those that:
  • +Are housing construction or rehabilitation or other public works projects, and
  • +Receive more than $300,000 in HUD funding (e.g. HOME, CDBG, federal Housing Trust Fund). NOTE: The trigger amount for project where funding was committed prior to March 16, 2026 is $200,000.
