In 2009 the Downtown Streets Team was invited to apply for funding from Harvard University through the Kennedy School's Ash Center. Competing against thousands of other non-profits, governments and companies, DST won top-50 honors for Innovations in Government along with organizations like the State of California and the US Army. DST was awarded funding and has continued transforming its innovative model to fit the pressing needs of its clients.

Since 2005 Downtown Streets Team has been led by Eileen Richardson, who took the helm only five weeks after the programs inception. In 2008 the Media Center awarded her the Local Hero Award. Consequently she was featured in their webcast, “Faces of Local Heroes” last year. Unfortunately, the video is no longer available for viewing.
