Like there is the C.I.A.
F.B.I.
H.U.D.
G.A.O.

Is it just H.S.
H.S.D.
D.H.S.

is there any chance they are calling it the H.L.S. ?

Drat, hoped they might be using the L for land in homeland,
the cover story at that link was at least good for a grin.

Actual exerpt:

(DHS) and Los Angeles-based Operation HOPE, Inc.,
signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

Now does anyone else think of this headline :

D.H.S./H.O.P.E. M.O.U. signed by D.O.P.E.S.
