New York City’s NYC Department of Social Services, NYC Human Resources Administration, and the NYC Department of Homeless Services deliver billions of dollars in goods and services each year. Many of our programs are delivered directly by our employees, but much of the work we do is in partnership with our Human Service Providers, Non-Profits, and Community-Based Organizations. Our M/WBE Program Team works closely with these organizations to build contract pipelines that offer opportunities for the City’s Minority- and/or Women-Owned Business Enterprises to join us in our shared mission to support those in need. Matchmaking is one of our most important tools for supporting local business development and bringing M/WBEs into the service of our client community. In this month’s M/WBE In the Mix, we meet Alyssa Sanchez-Cook of Samaritan Daytop Village, Inc. who understands the value of a good conversation. If you’re an M/WBE, or think you might qualify for certification, please email us at mwbe@dss.nyc.gov or visit our M/WBE Resource Page at https://lnkd.in/gaKF7NPe. We’d be happy to connect you with information about resources, upcoming events, and opportunities to contract with us and our partners.

NYC Department of Social Services reposted this
On Thursday, August 8, NYC Her Future attended the first annual NYC Department of Social Services-NYC Human Resources Administration-NYC Department of Homeless Services' Women’s Equality Day celebration! This event was a great opportunity to spotlight women in leadership across the City of New York and initiatives they are leading to drive diversity, equity, and inclusion both internally and externally. Not only did our very own founding Executive Director Nathifa Forde share remarks alongside Chief of Staff/Chief DEI Officer at the NYC Department of Social Services Karen H. St.Hilaire, Author and founder of Unlock Her Potential® Sophia Chang, Media Executive at iHeartMedia Kenya Gipson, and Commissioner at the NYC Department of Veterans' Services (DVS) James Hendon, but it was a day filled with interactive workshops (led by Deputy Executive Director for Strategic Learning and Capacity Building at the NYC Commission on Gender Equity Adana Wright, Author and DEI Professional Shaquiea Sykes and other experts in the field), as well as great a networking opportunity for all who attended. Thank you to Gregory Williams and everyone else that made the day possible for having us!
