Section 3 Employment and Economic Opportunity Compliance

The contract aims to support the job placement, training, and contracting opportunities for low-income residents of Philadelphia in alignment with HUD’s Section 3 requirements, which prioritize economic inclusion for individuals living in public housing or receiving federal housing assistance. The initiative is designed to connect eligible residents with employment and business development pathways tied to Philadelphia Housing Authority initiatives, ensuring that federal investments in housing and community development generate local economic benefits. The solicitation is structured as a subcontract and falls under NAICS Code 611430, indicating a focus on other schools and instruction, which may include workforce development, vocational training, or adult education programs tailored to low-income populations. Responses are due by August 26, 2026, and the opportunity is posted by the Philadelphia Housing Authority under the state of Pennsylvania. The contract does not specify a set-aside designation, suggesting it is open to a broad range of qualified entities, though preference will be given to those capable of demonstrating proven experience in serving disadvantaged communities in the Philadelphia area. Performance will be localized within Philadelphia, and successful applicants must comply with all Section 3 mandates, including hiring priorities, subcontracting goals, and reporting obligations tied to federal housing funding. Interested parties must engage through the provided online portal to submit proposals and ensure adherence to all procedural and compliance requirements.
