Section III is often associated with construction jobs, but its impact reaches far beyond the job site. At Rockford Housing Authority, Section III is about creating pathways for residents, entrepreneurs, and community members to access meaningful economic opportunities and long-term growth.
Opportunities Across Industries
Section III extends into fields like administrative support, healthcare, maintenance, customer service, and professional services. Through partnerships and intentional hiring practices, RHA ensures that residents can explore careers that match their skills and interests, not just construction roles. Learn more at HUD Section 3.
Empowering Local Businesses
Section III also opens doors for small and local businesses to grow. Entrepreneurs can participate in contracts, provide services, and build sustainable enterprises. By prioritizing Section III businesses, RHA supports economic inclusion and strengthens the local economy.
Building Inclusive Futures
This expanded approach reflects RHA’s commitment to inclusion and equity. By thinking beyond traditional pathways, Section III becomes a tool for empowerment helping residents build careers, businesses thrive, and communities grow stronger together.
Section III is more than a requirement, it’s an opportunity. RHA continues to champion inclusive growth by connecting residents and businesses to opportunities that go beyond construction and into lasting success.
