A LEADER IN CREATING COMMUNITIES<br />
SECTION 3 BUSINESS CONCERNS<br />
In an effort to foster local economic development,<br />
neighborhood economic improvement, and individual<br />
self-sufficiency, <strong>KBK</strong> <strong>Enterprises</strong> instituted a Section 3<br />
initiative for residents. Section 3 requires that recipients<br />
of certain HUD financial assistance, to the greatest<br />
extent possible, provide job training, employment,<br />
and contract opportunities for low or very low income<br />
residents in connection with projects and activities in<br />
their neighborhoods. Resident inclusion has allowed<br />
<strong>KBK</strong> <strong>Enterprises</strong> to achieve record breaking success<br />
in the redevelopment of Garfield Commons, Skyline<br />
Terrace and Marrero Commons. Garfield Commons<br />
was recognized by former Mayor Luke Ravenstahl for<br />
having the highest Section 3 participation in Pittsburgh,<br />
PA. Per former HUD Secretary, Shaun Donavan,<br />
Marrero Commons served as the model for the nation<br />
with hiring over 160 Section 3 workers. Skyline Terrace<br />
completed the first phase of its redevelopment with<br />
the participation of 67 Section 3 employees, which<br />
was the largest Section 3 participation in Pittsburgh.<br />
