Auditors have slammed a homelessness nonprofit in San Francisco for being 'careless and irresponsible' with $240 million of taxpayer money, in the latest scandal to rock California's bloated charity housing sector.

HomeRise, one of the city's main providers of homeless housing, 'misused' funds, lacked financial controls and engaged in other practices that 'heightened the risk of fraud,' says a damning city report.

It's the latest in a slew of revelations about waste in California's so-called 'homelessness industrial complex' — a gravy train of funders, officials, and shelter owners more keen on swallowing public funds than solving the problem.

There is a lot of money to be made in the homeless business.

[The Louiswu]

Another scandal??? Must be Monday!

[SpaceBar]

‘careless and irresponsible’ with $240 million = they stole it

[Red Badger]

They don’t want to ‘solve the problem’.

If they did, the money train stops....................

[Organic Panic]

This is my shocked face.....

[Mark]

YES, but it is a NONPROFIT! Fer sure.

[ronnie raygun]

Life for the homeless has never changed but these parasitic scumbags are in on the steal. They will never do any time

[BBQToadRibs2]

Other people money is the best money.

--- "California's bloated charity housing sector."

A most interesting and idiotic phrase. Charity is "bloated?" No. Government being ripped off is the picture.

[Hambone 1934]

We should all start non profits for the homeless and oh yes, we need to vote dem.....

[PerConPat]

Life must be good when you run SunRise.

[SpaceBar]

Non-profits seem to be the most profitable business models out there.

[Kevin in California]

And not a single one of these thieves will be prosecuted.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

“Irresponsible?”

So that’s what they’re calling embezzlement these days!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

...a gravy train of funders, officials, and shelter owners more keen on swallowing public funds than solving the problem.

Exactly right. "Homelessness" is a BIG business and lots of people make a lot of money perpetuating it. Like any business, it wants to grow.

[wildcard_redneck]

It is just another black supremacist scam.

Here is the CEO (lead thief) JANÉA JACKSON

[AnotherUnixGeek]

It should be obvious to anyone - even a liberal - that homeless “charities” have absolutely no incentive to solve the homeless crisis and every incentive to make the crisis worse.

[New Perspective]

We should all start non profits for the homeless and oh yes, we need to vote dem.....

Don't lower yourself to their moraless level. These nasty disgusting people will be judged one day. Taking money that is supposed to help those most in need is deplorable.
