Last night, Acting Commissioner of HPD Ahmed Tigani and Commissioner of NYC Department of Small Business Services Dynishal Gross kicked-off HPD’s 9th Annual M/WBE Matchmaking Event. This annual event empowers Minority and Women-Owned Businesses by opening doors to valuable contracting opportunities and creating diversity within the industry. It plays a vital role in our mission to foster a more inclusive, vibrant, and equitable housing sector. This event gives M/WBEs an incredible opportunity to participate in HPD’s development projects. We have completed 198 projects and partnered with over 700 M/WBEs, delivering more than $2.2 billion in M/WBE spending. Through the work we’ve done in Fiscal Year 2024 and Fiscal Year 2025, HPD will deliver nearly 20,000 affordable homes through the Build Up Program. More than just a networking event, it offers one-on-one meetings, dynamic roundtable discussions, and targeted breakout sessions which spark meaningful partnerships that lead to long-term growth and success.
