Around 14% or 30,000 were dead and receiving tenant assistance.
The welfare state is one giant scam. Once you start handing out money, much of it will be stolen. And the more they steal, the more thieves will show up and at that point you either cut off the dough or go bankrupt. If you look at our federal, state and local budgets, they’ve been climbing, so the thievery is only getting worse. The Somalis are only the tip of the iceberg.
A US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report found more than $5 billion in taxpayer funds went to “questionable” rental assistance recipients during the final year of the Biden administration — including around 30,000 “deceased tenants” and “thousands” of potential non-citizens, The Post can reveal.
HUD’s Office of the Chief Financial Officer uncovered $5.8 billion of the “questionable” payments out of nearly $50 billion in total federal rental assistance to public housing authorities, contractors, landlords and other non-federal entities in fiscal year 2024, the 183-page report disclosed.
The around 11% of taxpayer dollars from HUD went to more than 200,000 possibly ineligible tenants — of whom 29,715 (around 14%) were dead, 9,472 (4%) were non-citizens and 165,393 (82%) were receiving sums that exceeded the threshold for assistance in their geographic region, particularly in New Orleans and other large metro areas.
Forget the Walking Dead, we’ve got the Welfare Dead.
