Welcome to the Section 3 Residents Information Page! Here you will find our Section 3 Job Bank, Assessment information, and past participants’ testimonials.
RHA has created a Job Bank for residents of the Rockford Housing Authority and residents of the metropolitan area to self-certify as low-income.
Once you self-certify through our site you will then receive job alerts from our contractor/vendor base. You will also be notified of other Section 3 opportunities in our community. Signing up for the RHA Job Bank is easy! If this opportunity interests you, then click the button below to begin:
*You will be prompted to create an RHA Section 3 Account upon completion of the Section 3 Self-Certification Form.

Over the last eight decades, HUD has evolved itself to continuously meet the needs of our community’s most vulnerable families, which extend beyond the boundary of providing a safe, clean and affordable place to call home. Programs like section 3 were created as a strategy that would empower residents of government-funded affordable housing programs and low-income workers to a life of self-sufficiency and independence.
Section 3 advocates for local economic development, neighborhood economic improvement, and individual self-sufficiency. This requires that HUD-funded contractors, to the greatest extent feasible, provide job training, employment opportunities, and contracting opportunities for low or very low-income residents in our community.
This series is an inside look at how folks approached the future through Section 3, with a forward-focused mindset, as something to be created and nurtured in the present moment. The takeaway for today: make choices and commitments, and take action, with tomorrow in mind.
To continue to create strategic partnerships with community stakeholders, design a diverse housing portfolio, leverage social service programming to unite and ensure residents are provided with safe and nurturing environments that lead to self-sufficiency, responsibility, and individual empowerment.
This Earth Day, let's unite for a brighter future!
Today, we're reminded of the importance of our planet and the role each of us plays in protecting it.
