Department of Homeless Services, FY 2014
July 1, 2014
M/WBE Letter Grade
Letter Grade Overview
DHS spent with all groups in goods and exceptionally well with Asian American businesses in construction. However, in its largest area of procurement, standard services, it failed to spend significantly with any M/WBE group. This brought the agency’s overall grade to a D.
