Serve Jersey City - Community Finance Coordinator
 
 
 
The City of Jersey City’s Division of Purchasing is committed to increasing equity in city contracting for local minority-and women-owned business enterprises (M/WBE) by implementing results-driven contracting strategies. In partnership with the Harvard Kennedy Schools Government Performance Lab (GPL), the initiative will invest city dollars to improve economic mobility and achieve better outcomes for historically marginalized populations. The VISTA member will examine barriers to entry for doing business with Jersey City for M/WBE vendors looking to secure a public contract with the City of Jersey City. The VISTA will also empower individuals and businesses by providing access to financial resources and support, fostering economic growth and financial well-being for those in need.
