The group ACORN was loathed by the GOP right. Because it consisted of and advocated for minority groups, particularly voter registration, it represented the "scary, black man." As ACORN also organized for President Obama, the "scary, black man"-in-chief, they were frequently accused of "voter fraud" - an allegation not substantiated by the facts. As such, it was targeted by video slime merchant James O'Keefe, whose sting videos took pride of place on Fox News. He and his videos, which might have broken state laws, were subsequently discredited and ACORN was exonerated of any wrong doing. After having been defunded by Congress, it subsequently filed for bankruptcy, but right wingers fear that those scary dark people are still lurking out there. Thus, a right wing rumor, thanks to the right wing Scaife funded site Judicial Watch, has surfaced which claims that ACORN members are getting secret monies from a DOJ grant to the Afforadable Housing Centers of America. It's not true but who cares when that "scary, black man" card can be dealt from the deck of right wing propaganda. Not surprisingly, Fox News, the mouthpiece for the right wing, has picked up on this newest lie. Not suprisingly, Fox & Friends, "the morning happy-talk show that Ailes uses as one of his primary vehicles to inject his venom into the media bloodstream" is promoting it on his morning propaganda machine that still works on week-ends.

From the HUD website:
HUDNo.2010-01-14/U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
The City of Phoenix in a consortium agreement with Arizona Acorn Housing, has been awarded $60 million in NSP2 (Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2) funds.
Fox News and Judicial Watch Smear Attempt FAIL!

The end of an era: ACORN files Chapter 7 bankruptcy | ACORN
 
The government's website listing federal expenditures identifies the organization receiving the $79,810 grant as "ACORN Housing Corporation Inc." and lists ACORN's New Orleans address.
So ACORN is gone? Nope.
 
Its NOT ACORN.

Its Arizona acorn housing.

Do you think its a horror to help poor people find affordable housing?
 
ACORN changed their name to C.O.I., Community Organizers International:
ACORN's new name - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Now comes word that ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is changing its name. But no matter if it's ACORN or COI -- Community Organizations International -- it can run but it cannot hide.
ACORN is under investigation in at least 14 states, Pennsylvania included, for allegations of voter registration fraud. The FBI is involved. ACORN is responsible for 400,000 fraudulent voter registrations nationwide, says Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa.
 
It doesnt need to hide.

They do good things for this country and the republican lies about what they do have been outed for the lies they are
 
TM do you really think that the poor can afford to keep up the expenses with a house.
A new roof costs anywhere from 3,000.00 to 8,000.00
The average property tax is 1,180.00
Affordable living yes but not houses.
This is exactly what happened when many could not afford this, that help contribute to the housing market problem.

Google is your friend:

Chapter 7, Title 11, United States Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When a very large company enters Chapter 7 bankruptcy, entire divisions of the company may be sold intact to other companies during the liquidation
So all ACORN has to do is create a few shell companies and sell it to itself, under a new name.
see: COI

Well cool.

Glad they are back.

Conservative bastards would like to see the people starving to death on the streets.
 
Acorn was the victim of a republican hit job.

It was an organization of groups who work to make life better for the poor.

Is it any wonder the right wanted it distroyed?

They broke up the organization but not the groups who provide these good deeds.

Those groups are reorganizing and have EVERY RIGHT TO DO SO!

The lame-stream media didn't cover that, so that's why he missed it.
