Homeless not-for-profit's math doesn't add up

From the Daily News:

A nonprofit that has become a major homeless shelter provider in a short time frame is being audited by the city — less than a year after it scored $407 million in contracts.

Childrens Community Services lassoed two mega-contracts with the Department of Homeless Services last June to operate hotel shelters in four boroughs and charge as much as $270 a night to house a family in a room.

The city inked the deals even though the nonprofit only started four years ago and its most recent tax filing showed it was $6 million in the red.

One contract was for three years and $360 million to house homeless families. The other was for $47.7 million to house single adults.

When the Daily News inquired about the nonprofit's debts and murky financials, Homeless Services said it planned to procure an independent accounting firm to review Childrens Community Services and pare down the number of shelters the nonprofit operates.

No surprises here, anything to do with Dumblasio is shady and corrupt, just look at one of his top donors

This reminds me of that shady energy contract to restore Puerto Rico's energy grid with a contractor that had 3 people working for it connected to Ryan Zinke.

>"Childrens Community Services", "Good Samaritan"...

Like the PATRIOT Act and the SAFE Act, their names are the exact opposite of what they actually are.

Dumblassios corrupt commission for appointing corrupt independent commissions to do studies on corruption in the system is in the process of determining which shady independent accounting firm is most open to pay to play.

This adminstration pitted communities against communities. Divided and conquered. labeled anyone who protested against a homeless shelter as racists and NIMBYS. Can anyone blame the public from wanting to protect their homes and communities against this.

Yep..only the cronies connected to this mayor got the lucative homeless shelter contracts. They RAPED the taxpayers. The conned the public. This put the homeless in tiny rooms, and overpaid bigtime.
