To thrive as a Section 3 worker, candidates generally need relevant trade skills, experience in construction or maintenance, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with safety protocols, basic hand tools, and sometimes OSHA certifications are commonly required.

These qualifications ensure that Section 3 workers can effectively contribute to projects while meeting safety and community employment goals.

What are Section 3 jobs?

Section 3 jobs refer to employment opportunities that are created as a result of certain U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding. The goal of Section 3 is to ensure that economic opportunities, such as jobs and contracts, are directed toward low- and very low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing or who live in the project area. Employers and contractors working on HUD-funded projects are often required to give preference to Section 3 residents when hiring. This helps promote economic uplift and community development in underserved neighborhoods.
