The Housing Authority of the County of Armstrong references the requirements of Section 3 when advertising capital fund projects, includes language in project specifications, and requires Contractors to certify their compliance to the extent feasible.

The requirements of section 3 are also covered at prebid and preconstruction conferences, and contractors are instructed to direct subcontracts and new employment opportunities to section 3 businesses and residents. As an additional effort to inform our residents of section 3 opportunities, information is provided in the Housing Authority newsletter and at resident meetings, such as resident advisory board meetings. It is the intention of the housing authority to develop measures to track the efforts and results of our contractors.
