This past Monday, the DSS M/WBE Program Team led by Raymond Daniel Medina – together with our Agency Chief Contracting Officer Vincent Pullo and Contracts staff – represented the NYC Department of Social Services, NYC Human Resources Administration, and NYC Department of Homeless Services at the City’s Annual Citywide Procurement Fair. We’re very grateful to our partners at the NYC Department of Small Business Services for the opportunity to host our panel “Positioning for Partnership | Contracting for Community”. We discussed pathways for M/WBEs who want to bring their local skills and knowledge to Human Service contracts and New Yorkers in need. We provided an overview of our robust M/WBE program which includes resources for Human Service Providers and Non-Profits and M/WBE firms which foster opportunities for partnership. This included more than one hundred specific upcoming opportunities with us and our Providers. If you’re an M/WBE and interested in learning more about these opportunities and want to join us in our mission, please reach out to us at mwbe@dss.nyc.gov.

With low-income New Yorkers being twice as likely to have a work limiting health condition, SNAP helps ensure improved health with nutritious food options. #SNAPshot #FarmBill
