Tucked into this week's Fort Lauderdale City Commission Agenda is CM5, "Motion to Approve Payment to Broward County in Response to Housing
and Urban Development Office of Inspector General Audit Findings of
the Chronic Homeless Housing Collaborative Program - $42,669.99"
The item's description shows that a recent HUD audit of the City's only federally funded housing program misspent $274,206 of its total funding, which in 2015 was about $450,000. The City is already voting to pay back $42,000 as suggested by the federal audit.
Documents regarding this situation can be found here.
The City of Fort Lauderdale is introducing a series of new ordinances that will effectively ban sleeping or having property in public spaces, panhandling, and sharing food. These rules will create even greater levels of suffering for the 500+ homeless people in Broward County who will not have any safe places to be, no way to eke out a living, and no food aid. We need compassionate people from South Florida and beyond to resist these laws!
