Affirmative Action

The Affirmative Action Contract Compliance program promotes the development of certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and certified Women Business Enterprises (WBE). This program maximizes the utilization of certified MBEs/WBEs in Hinesville Housing Authority contracts and subcontracts.

The aim of this program is to discover and deter discrimination by bidders who seek contracts with HHA. We use MBE/WBE Minimum Participation Goals (MPGs) as a screening device to determine whether discrimination may have occurred.

  • MPGs of MBE/WBE participation will be indicated for each contract in the bid document and will be based on the availability of certified MBEs/WBEs.
  • The MPGs are a means of determining whether or not a contractor shall be presumed to have engaged in discrimination.
  • If the information furnished is below the MPGs, the bid package will face further review, based on the criteria set forth in this policy, to determine whether or not there was actual discrimination.

Section 3 Requirements for Contractors (Construction and Non-Construction)

Although we are no longer mandated by Section 3, the guidelines are still observed as follows:

HHA is committed to providing quality housing and economic opportunities for our residents and the neighborhoods we serve. One of the major vehicles for this is Section 3 of the HUD Act of 1968, which requires that most contracts that will be paid using HUD funds include commitments to provide low-income individuals with a springboard for economic empowerment through direct participation in construction and most other activities funded by HUD. Section 3 requirements apply to all contract awards from public housing authorities, other than contracts for materials and supplies.

HUD considers public housing authorities to be in compliance with Section 3 if they and their contractors and subcontractors (for contracts other than for materials and supplies) meet the following minimum numerical goals for hiring and subcontracting:

A. Hiring Requirements

30% of the aggregate number of any new hires for purposes of fulfilling any covered contract with Hinesville Housing Authority shall be Section 3 qualified individuals.

B. Subcontracting Requirements

  1. Construction-type contracts: 10% of the total dollar amount of all covered construction contracts shall be awarded to Section 3 business concerns; and
  2. Non-construction contracts: 3% of the total dollar amount of all covered non-construction contracts shall be awarded to Section 3 business concerns.

C. If A. and B. Are Demonstrably Not Feasible

If a contractor or subcontractor can demonstrate that with respect to any contract subject to Section 3, it has no need or plan to subcontract or hire, or that it has attempted, to the maximum extent feasible, to meet Section 3 hiring and subcontracting goals, but has been unable to meet those goals, the contractor may substitute other economic opportunities.

Section 3 Compliance Reporting System

Contractors and vendors that have contracts with HHA are required to file Section 3 compliance reports on a quarterly basis throughout the calendar year. If there are any questions, please contact Melanie Thompson:
