   WASHINGTON (TNND) — A report from the U.S. Department of Housing and   
   Urban Development (HUD) found that billions of dollars in federal rental   
   assistance were improperly distributed during the final year of the   
   Biden administration, including payments being made to tens of thousands   
   of dead people.   
      
   According to the 183-page audit, obtained by the New York Post, HUD   
   identified $5.8 billion in “questionable” payments out of nearly $50   
   billion disbursed through federal rental assistance programs in fiscal   
   year 2024.   
      
   The review flagged more than 200,000 tenants who may not have qualified   
   for aid. Among them were 29,715 deceased individuals, 9,472 non-citizens   
   and more than 165,000 households receiving assistance above income   
   limits set for their local areas.   
      
   Auditors said concentrations of the suspected payments were found in New   
   York, California and Washington, DC. Meanwhile, payments to dead tenants   
   occurred in all 50 states.   
      
   HUD Secretary Scott Turner criticized the Biden administration’s   
   handling of the programs in a statement to the New York Post.   
      
   “A massive abuse of taxpayer dollars not only occurred under President   
   Biden’s watch, but was effectively incentivized by his administration’s   
   failure to implement strong financial controls resulting in billions   
   worth of potential improper payments,” Turner said in a statement to the   
   New York Post, adding that corrective action is now underway.   
      
   The audit focused on two major housing programs: Tenant-Based Rental   
   Assistance (TBRA), which spent $33 billion to support more than 4   
   million households, and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA), which   
   accounted for $16 billion in spending between October 2023 and September   
   2024. Investigators found eligibility concerns tied to $1.5 billion in   
   TBRA payments and roughly $4.3 billion — or 26.4% — of all PBRA payments   
   reviewed.   
      
   The report accused the Biden administration of prioritizing rapid   
   distribution of funds without adequate safeguards.   
      
   “The directive from the Biden Administration to push funding out the   
   door with minimal oversight and the design of HUD's rental assistance   
   programs placed substantial trust and responsibility in these   
   non-federal entities, such as housing authorities, contract   
   administrators, and landlords, to accurately assess tenant eligibility   
   for two of the most complex rental assistance programs,” the audit   
   stated.   
      
   “Moreover, the Biden Administration did not provide HUD with effective   
   tools, technology, or access to the evidence necessary to verify whether   
   these entities were properly enforcing the intricate rules governing   
   rental assistance.”   
      
   HUD officials now plan to contact housing authorities and other partners   
   to determine the full scope of the improper payments. Depending on the   
   findings, the department may pause or revoke funding as well as refer   
   cases for criminal prosecution.

   History:  Dear HUD Sec Turner look no further than "Credit Union" symbol   
   depicted in front of Central Area Progressive Improvement Association -   
   Federal Housing Administration within the late Matt Driscoll's 2017   
   article.  WA has been laundering HUD money to Dem politiciains for   
   decades.  You and US Atty know who the players are for decades.

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
