M/WBE Letter Grade

Letter Grade Overview

CCHR has a small procurement budget which is principally comprised of standard services and goods. While their procurement with Hispanic American and Black American businesses met and exceeded goals in standard services respectively, the agency did no procurement with Asian American businesses and very little with Women-owned businesses, bringing its overall grade to a C.

About CCHR

The City Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) investigates an average of 1,000 allegations of discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations, as well as bias-related harassment each year. In addition, the CCHR initiates investigations and prosecutions of systemic Human Rights Law violations.
