An $11 million grant to the Detroit Department of Human Services was intended to help 400 low-income job-seekers, but a recent audit has shown that only two people have been helped.
The Detroit News reports:
The audit, conducted by the city's auditor general for the period from July 2009 to September 2011, found the department failed to control the operations and finances of a boutique that was to provide the clothes. ...
"The DHS was only able to provide the auditors with two referral forms signed by two clients documenting that they received clothing from the boutique," the audit said. "Eligible Detroiters are not being served with available clothing being stocked in the boutique."
The department did not give a reason for not reaching the goal of providing 400 people with clothes.
