Labor Relations Reference and Guidance Materials

Specific Davis-Bacon Related Act (statute) for the program involved. The clauses containing the Davis-Bacon labor standards provisions for each HUD program are key to making proper decisions concerning applicability. Determining whether Davis-Bacon wage rates are applicable in specific cases may be the most difficult task LCAs face on a day-to-day basis. Excerpts from the HUD Related Acts - the labor standards provisions – are offered in the Appendix (page 23) to this Guide. In addition, we’ve provided treatments explaining the factors of applicability (how the language of the labor standards clauses is interpreted and applied in real situations) for CDBG, HOME, Public Housing, Indian Housing, and Hawaiian Homelands Programs.
