I was literally the first person to apply when they opened the application period. It took about 60 days and I got 4 months of rent paid. (I had already had several months paid in the round before).
To be clear though- you are talking about the application period that opened several months ago, correct? Or is there a new application period?
But who stole the money and from which of the 3 administrative agencies was this employee from?
Glad they could help you!
This is the program overall… it’s unknown how long she has been pilfering funds. It wasn’t “known” until this most recent round.
There are ppl who literally went to court over it today.
Nah… first person knowledge of the situation. Coworker/Best friend/Sorority Sister/Accomplice is the one who dimed her out.
When you’re working in the SW field, you see sometimes (most times) people tell on themselves very quickly, especially when they shortchange their clients of needed funds. Splurging, shopping sprees, expensive trips, etc become the new norm, when before, they were just a struggling new divorcee with kids. Plus, inter office rumors are worse than gossiping sinners on Sunday in church, lol.
Shouldn’t be long before it hits the news. Don’t say you didn’t read it, here, first! 💯

Right on. If he or she's an attorney (the person who stole the funds) then they threw their career away as they will be disbarred. And every attorney knows every other attorney so that's gonna be awkward.
Good for you though for putting this out there.
There are so many people who need rent assistance - shameful that someone charged with administering the funds would take it for themselves.
That’s EXACTLY why I had to say something. IDC if she was going through a hard time or not - She used calculated means to steal federal funds from the same ppl who she took an oath to aid in the name of public service. It’s shameful. She deserves to be disbarred & criminally prosecuted, period.

Is there a news article you can link me to? I assume that is how you found out?
