Program Planning & Implementation

Kansas City, Missouri Section 3 Program

The City of Kansas City, Missouri is responsible for administering more than $9 million in Section 3 covered Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. In 2006, Kansas City was the subject of a Section 3 Compliance Review, which resulted in a number of findings of noncompliance. Accordingly, Kansas City made Section 3 compliance a priority by creating an Office of Section 3 Administration with its own Section 3 Coordinator. This office works closely with the city's Contract Compliance Division, Office of Community Development, and potential Section 3 residents/ contractors. As a result, the city has developed aggressive and innovative strategies for complying with the requirements of Section 3 and has exceeded the numerical goals for contracting and employment opportunities found at 24 CFR §135.30.
