San Francisco's city attorney on Monday accused a nonprofit that has received tens of millions of public dollars to provide homeless services of stealing public funds.
"There's a difference between having challenges with financial compliance and intentionally defrauding the City and its taxpayers," City Attorney David Chiu said.
The foundation received at least $105,000 from San Francisco after submitting two invoices related to repainting the hotel's exterior and removing deadbolt locks, according to the city attorney's office.
The nonprofit also gave jobs to its leaders' children, in violation of an anti-nepotism provision in its grant agreement with San Francisco, engaged in wage theft, failed to respond to document requests and did not keep enough homeless families in its shelter, according to the city attorney.
Other nonprofits in San Francisco paid by the city to provide services have been marred with recent allegations of financial mismanagement, using city funds to buy personal goods like cigars and embezzlement, alongside other accusations, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Some nonprofits with subpar performance were nonetheless given contract continuations, while other organizations receiving city funds were barely reviewed, according to an investigation conducted by the San Francisco Standard.
Providence Foundation and the San Francisco city attorney's office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation's requests for comment.
