| The Housing Authority of the City of Augusta, Georgia (AHA) is committed to 
                    helping the residents of its communities achieve their goals of self-sufficiency 
                    by providing opportunities for training and employment. AHA provides employment 
                    opportunities on construction projects by encouraging its contractor to hire 
                    qualified residents of AHA communities, connecting residents to job training and 
                    placement activities, and providing program coordination that facilitates 
                    economic opportunities for residents. AHA also provides employment opportunities 
                    by hiring qualified residents of AHA communities for available AHA positions. 
 Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended by the 
                    Housing and Community Development Act of 1994, requires that, to the greatest 
                    extent feasible, employment and other economic opportunities generated by HUD 
                    funds be directed to low- and very low-income residents. To this end, AHA will 
                    implement efforts to have a ready pool of public housing residents to fill the 
                    positions offered by the AHA, its contractors, or subcontractors.
 
 To accomplish this goal, the AHA is conducting a Resident Survey and 
                    Registration. AHA encourages any residents seeking employment to complete this 
                    survey on-line.
