Over the last several years, we have met or exceeded our goals for Economic Inclusion which improves equity for Hamilton County families. That trend continued for the first quarter of FY2021. As a reminder, the HUD and CMHA goals for the program are:
- 20% of all new construction contracts go to Section 3 Businesses (CMHA doubled HUD’s goal of 10%)
- 30% of all new hires that are a result of an awarded contract are Section 3 individuals
- 20% of construction contracts go to MBEs
- 5% of all contracts awarded go to WBEs
