Ben Carson: A Path Out of Poverty
“We have the means to help: At the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), we are working to lift many of the barriers to employment for people in public housing. HUD’s Section 3 program requires that recipients of certain HUD grants, to the greatest extent possible, provide job training, employment and contract opportunities for low- or very low-income residents with projects and activities in their neighborhoods. Often this involves matching unemployed, able people in public housing with jobs in construction or other opportunities.”
