Dear Vendor:
In compliance with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Federal regulations, we request you answer the questions below.
• A Section 3 Contractor is one who hires low and very low income residents or provides subcontracting to businesses owned by low and very low income residents.
• Racial/Ethnic/Gender Codes are needed to track minority owned businesses. Please use the code that applies to the highest percentage of any one group that is no less than 51% of ownership.
Additionally, we are required to have a completed W-9 form for all vendors. If we do not have one on file we must withhold taxes at 31% on any money owed you. Please submit a completed and signed W-9 below.
