Staff briefs council on HUD Section 3 / TDA program presentation and implementation timeline
Summary
Staff presented a HUD Section 3 implementation plan tied to a TDA grant; staff said the training and tracking work will not begin until 2026 and that the program will track Section 3 worker hours for compliance.
City staff presented a HUD Section 3 implementation briefing tied to a Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) grant and described how the recipient organization will track worker hours and report compliance.
Staff told council the presentation documents are included in the council packet and identified a local provider (described in the packet) that will implement Section 3 tracking under the federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) framework. Staff described Section 3 as a HUD requirement under the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 that requires local program implementers to track employment and contracting opportunities for low- and very-low-income residents when federal funding triggers Section 3 obligations.
During questions, a council member asked when the work would commence and staff replied the work would not start until 2026. Staff also said the program includes a method to identify qualifying workers who reside in the project area and to track hours for compliance reporting. Staff indicated the city received grant funding (amounts and some grant identifiers as provided in the packet) but did not provide a full grant-dollar figure during the verbal presentation.
No formal council action was recorded on the Section 3 presentation at this workshop; the item was informational and part of the grant-implementation steps required by the grantor.
