$11 Million Grant to Clothe Detroit Job-Seekers Helps Two
snip-
A recent audit of the Department of Human Services revealed that an $11 million grant to help clothe low income job-seekers in the city helped two, yes, two people. According to The Detroit News:
Among the most telling findings, which will be discussed today during a City Council committee meeting, is that a third-party contractor advanced $148,000 to a downtown Detroit clothing store and opened an account, but did not include the city on the account.
Its just another example that money is not as much of an issue [as] managing the money, whether its grant or general fund dollars that we have, said Council President Pro Tem Gary Brown. We have to find a better way to manage the resources and give Detroiters the value for the tax dollars they deserve.
Though the program aimed to help 400 people between July of 2009 and September of 2011, The DHS was only able to provide the auditors with two referral forms signed by two clients documenting that they received clothing from the boutique.
CBS notes that applicants were required to have a job interview scheduled to participate, but presumably thats not such a stringent requirement that only two people were eligible.
