Section 3 is a provision of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Act of 1968 that helps foster local economic development, neighborhood economic improvement and individual self-sufficiency. HUD’s Section 3 Program requires recipients of the agency’s financial assistance to make a concerted effort to hire and contract with Section 3-eligible individuals and business concerns with a focus on qualifications, cost, and insurance/bonding requirements as priority considerations when selecting employees and contractors.
If you are interested in Section 3 job or contracting opportunities contact Volunteers of America at 1-318-603-3374 or email cni@voanorthla.org or set up a profile in the Section 3 Opportunity Portal.

Implementation teams are led by component leads Housing (by ITEX Development and HACS), Neighborhood (by the City of Shreveport’s Department of Community Development), and People (by Volunteers of America North Louisiana).
