Los Angeles’s homelessness agency paid over $75 million to one nonprofit, highlighting concerns about fraud and mismanagement. Critics argue that the system emphasizes spending over effective outcomes, with some programs potentially fostering dependency rather than promoting independence, and call for better oversight and accountability.
