In Baltimore, the center at Morgan State works with more than 500 women. Now, Frank says they need even more federal funding to keep up with demand. “It’s hard to keep up with! We need more resources, we need [more] money, so we can hire more people to help more people,” said Frank. SBA officials say they’re also working to increase the number of women business owners who receive contracts with the federal government. There are also similar hubs located at Hispanic-serving institutions.
