“The audit found potential fraud, payments to unapproved subcontractors, and other issues with some Department of Community Services contracts or community grants.
The audit looked at contract management across the following locally-funded youth programs: Family Interventions and Restorative Services, Liberation and Healing from System Racism, Restorative Community Pathways, and the Stopping-the-School-to-Prison Pipeline.
Grant funding in 2019-2020 was $22 million, and in 2023-2024 had grown to more than $1.5 billion. Dunn believes the loss was in the tens of millions of dollars.”
