Human Resources Administration, FY 2015
September 1, 2015
M/WBE Letter Grade
Letter Grade Overview
HRA failed to achieve LL 1 goals for professional services and standard services in any M/WBE category. HRA’s strong spending with Asian American and Hispanic American firms in goods procurement helped the agency earn a slight improvement in its overall standing this year. Even though HRA received a D grade for a second year in a row, its procurement spending shows movement in the right direction.
