Section 3 Compliance & Workforce Development

The contract seeks to ensure compliance with HUD Section 3 by coordinating employment and subcontracting opportunities specifically for low-income residents within the Lewistown area. This subcontract focuses on workforce development initiatives designed to increase local economic participation by connecting disadvantaged individuals with job training, placement, and business development resources tied to federally assisted housing programs. The effort is aligned with federal mandates to prioritize hiring and contracting with low-income individuals, ensuring that economic benefits from public housing projects directly reach the communities they serve. The contract is open for response until June 24, 2026, and falls under the NAICS code 541611 for management consulting services, indicating a strong emphasis on strategic planning and operational coordination rather than direct construction or service delivery. The Mifflin County Housing Authority, under the State of Pennsylvania, is the contracting entity, and performance will be centered in Lewistown. While no set-aside classification or point of contact details are provided, the requirement demands active engagement with local residents to identify and facilitate meaningful employment and contracting pathways, reinforcing a community-centric approach to housing-related economic development.
