City of Warren Section 3 Policy and Guidelines
What is Section 3?
Section 3 is a legislative directive from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that outlines requirements for awarding contract work to firms owned by or employing moderate-income people. While the City of Warren does not grant preferential treatment to firms in the award of contracts, Section 3 is used to help make those contracts more accessible and attainable for moderate-income people and firms who wish to bid on them.
This page contains policy guidelines and other relevant information on our community’s compliance with Section 3 requirements. For more info, click here. Please review the information on this page and contact us at (586) 574-4686 if you have any questions.
