HUD Section 3 Services

Since 1997, Motivation, Inc. and its leadership has been involved in the development and support of Section 3 Business Concerns. We are the foremost leaders in Section 3 Resident Training and Business Development in the Southeastern United States, if not the entire country. Based on information from our clients, we are the only professional full-time consulting firm in the nation that has a comprehensive, structured 18 module personal and professional empowerment training program that has been time tested over the past 14 years. Our firm is uniquely qualified to enter into this partnership based on our many years of progressive knowledge of Section 3, history and involvement as public housing resident trainers, practicing contractors utilizing Section 3 concerns, and business developers of multiple Section 3 business concerns.

Our Section 3 Services Include:

Section 3 File Audits

We will conduct a comprehensive file audit on procurement files and any other activities related to Section 3 as requested by you. Our team has a comprehensive checklist designed from the basic regulatory requirements of Part 135 and rated on a 26 point scoring system. The file audits are conducted in your office and the files remain in your office at all times. The audit sheets are printed and signed immediately so the results of the audit are known and can be discussed in a briefing before we leave your office. Each audit provides weaknesses for that file with a summary of all files reviewed including points for improvements in future procurements and activities so the scores can be improved. This is a flat fee service so the number of files audited are not restricted.
