Total Votes: 7 / Interest: 147

Administered by the DEEO, the HUD Economic Opportunity Program, specifically under Section 3, channels employment and economic opportunities resulting from federally financed housing and community development projects to low- and very-low-income individuals, particularly those receiving government assistance for housing. DEEO staff play a pivotal role in guaranteeing that contractors and businesses engaged in projects funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development are owned by residents or substantially employ individuals qualifying for the Section 3 program, thus fostering economic empowerment within the community.
