Labor Standards

Federal Davis-Bacon Act labor standards apply to all construction projects wholly or partially federally funded. All employees on construction projects must receive prevailing wage rates as established by U.S. Department of Labor. This applies to all CDBG-funded construction contracts exceeding $2,000.

Community development and housing programs are administered in a nondiscriminatory manner, consistent with equal employment opportunities, affirmative action, and fair housing requirements.
