The Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC) Board of Commissioners
approved a Minority and Women Business Enterprise Initiative (MBE/WBE) with
the 2012 QAP. This Initiative was established to encourage the involvement
and participation of businesses that are MBE or WBE certified under a
business certification program by the State of Missouri, City of Kansas
City, St. Louis Airport Authority or other certifying agency as deemed
appropriate by MHDC in consultation with the Office of Equal Opportunity for
the State of Missouri (OEO). This provision continues to be incorporated
into each subsequent QAP, and shall be the governing language and guidance
for MHDC’s administration and supervision of the MBE/WBE Initiative. Its
components are paramount to MHDC’s effort to achieve diversity, increase
support, and sustain MBE/WBE involvement
in MHDC affordable housing production. You may contact Sheryl Butler at
