They can always do what la is doing, and what they did during covid...I'm sure eventually, Houghston will get theirs too. Keep in mind, be careful what you wish for, LA should be very closely observed as our new example of what's to come. Along with that is the sad truth about economy and social status, according to the sick minds of the ELITE. So, take note how EASY IT IS TO BECOME HOMELESS. TO THINKall those poor people, in a SHELTER, and they aren't even DRUG ADDICTS OR MENTALLY ILL ....yet....that usually comes along later, a common effect of.....being homeless, not the cause. So, just a reminder, the WORLD is being ELEVATED upgraded, to even low income and poverty stricken has a higher standard. But, at least all those wastes of space that will soon fill the air and lungs of us all, won't be an eyesore anymore. Man,what a disgrace.
Don't worry everyone. We will all hear the city and county telling us that there's no money and they need taxes to be raised again and again. At this point taxes are no longer for services for the citizens but to fund lavish life styles of those who are supposed to help us.
Over $500,000 can you imagine how many people that are homeless and Veterans that could’ve been help Level of corruption and entitlement is absolutely disgusting and disgraceful Again these people need to be held accountable and have to pay all of it back
I can confirm that steak 48 is good steak and yes except to leave with a tab of min 500. Crazy how they are using public money for lavish lives. Politicians are thief’s.
They are also murdered. And I wonder, if they are criminals,and also elected officials and paid for by tax payers, what does that say about the community?! Nothing, lol just like why they do it, "cause what you gonna do about it?....lol nothin lol
And they are…..then credit cards can be used for business lunch. There is no limited on the amount and they can travel from state to state. Attending government conferences all expenses paid with government money
They have a weak HR Director and team. There is no way, I would have allowed them to get a penny. I would have fought them tooth and nail. This is what happens when HR doesn't do checks and balances.
Because before that Crook Sylvester left he gave them extended 6 year contracts. Had to pay them so they can quit. Houston voted for that nepotism clown, his ppl giving contracts to family and friends. Couple coworkers even told me they voted for him because he's black. Hopefully this new mayor to fix this mess.
Those former employees need to be prosecuted nd jailed nd made to repay back these funds. These monies are for people who really need it like that poor lady! Houston elected officials what are you doing with ur time if ur not paying attention to these kind of stealing of funds
Nice job Amy of pulling out their dirty laundry. But it would be more valuable to interview the mayor with all the receipts in front of him. Let him tell us what his office plan’s is. Someone needs to be held accountable.
These guys were under sylvester turner's administration. He is the one who should be question. Whitmire has been transparent and encourages Amy to do her investigations.
@Noneofyabusiness1 in my army unit, our cards were only turned on when we traveled and a daily meal and hotel perdiem was included based on the location traveled. If you went over that amount you had to pay the overage out of your own funds. It appears there was absolutely no oversight in the agencies credit card use.
Why wasn’t this dept/these ppl audited??! These criminals need to be held accountable OFFICIALLY CHARGED in a court of Law, and PAY BACK ev single penny.
This is why no one wants to hire us for anything and when we do get good jobs like this people say that we're really not qualified for them and it's just a DEI appointment.
Waaat? Government waste, spending and corruption? Say it isn't so! ... I'm a Republican but I'd vote for this new mayor in a heartbeat. He's an old school Dem, the kind who is more interested in fixing stuff than opening unisex bathrooms.
I worked in Harris County Communications and management was ALWAYS jet setting around the country. I bet they racked up just as much on the County tab. I once told one of them that the place is top heavy in bloated management and his reply was, "NO, its LIGHT on the bottom" Geez, I put in my time and got out of there.
They need to go to jail ASAP They just resign and get off the hook Need regular non politician people running for office cause we all keep work they keep taking and we get the same results nothing except the bill
Oh my GOD!! While many are out in the cold bc they are homeless this pair was spending Housing money like crazy!!! So why were they allowed to do that? Who supervises them? Who takes audits? Why nobody notice until now?? Disguisting actions.
That's why houston and surrounding areas are going to crap in general texas is going to crap. It pisses me off because it was such a beautiful place before pple had common curtesy.
I'm a section 8 voucher participant from Houston Housing authority I put a portal in to transfer to another state in June of last year and I'm still waiting. I call them and no one tells me anything.
I worked for the LCHA (Lake County Housing Authority) and David Northern was the head there - you need to look into the fraud he committed then 2005-2012
He needs to face criminal charges from LCHA to HHA - if they look into David Northern's history he would spend the rest of his life in prison! 2005-2012 is when I was there to see what he was doing he too Alan Jefferies legacy and destroyed it
Closing the gate after the cows are already out, theses practices should already be in place on any agency handling the public’s funds. This is shameful.
Please put guard rails in place when we are around money unless you want it stolen. The people running the HA should have been sent to jail and there needs to be reform where older Americans are helped instead of healthy able body women.
The $65 billion Department of Housing and Urban Development has been plagued by mismanagement and scandal in recent decades. Numerous HUD secretaries have used their power to enrich themselves or to confer special benefits on people with political and financial connections. This essay looks at HUD mismanagement during the tenures of four HUD secretaries under three recent presidents: Samuel Pierce, 1981-1989, Ronald Reagan's only HUD secretary Henry Cisneros, 1993-1997, Bill Clinton's first HUD secretary Andrew Cuomo, 1997-2001, Bill Clinton's second HUD secretary Alphonso Jackson, 2003-2009, George W. Bush's second HUD secretary A root cause of HUD scandals is that the department has a large number of costly subsidy programs, and each involves a tangled web of stakeholders. Many HUD programs divide responsibilities between federal, state, and local policymakers, and they involve private interests such as developers and financial companies. The multiplicity of interests and the complexity of the programs create opportunities for people in the public and private sectors to take personal advantage of programs.
They need to face criminal charges
No sh**.
And fined
Just like Americas elected self serving indicted felon orange crook.
For eating crab?
This is the dumbest comment theme in all of history.
_"Hey, somebody should do something. Better post on RUclips."_
Remember kids, you too can be a Luigi
5 people spent half a million dollars of government funding for people on the verge of homelessness..
Yep and why does it appear to mainly be the usual suspects, or am I seeing things 👀
Great reporting!! Houston needs a clean sweep!

Ain’t that good for that price… a fool and his gold
Just like Americas elected self serving indicted felon orange crook.
He looks like he eats 6 times a day
6 people 5 black 1 white. Is that racist?..
6 MEALS/ MEALS MORE LIKE...REPULSIVE PIG.,
LOL!
😂
My thoughts exactly. 😂
Wow craziness. Every housing authority should be investigated. I bet they are all doing the same thing.
NY HA did the same thing.

Why are they paid severance when they voluntarily resign?

Absolutely… seems to me they’ve spent their severance. They should be locked away and pay restitution. What a joke
It's protection money so they don't come back with a discrimination suit.
Contract of employment...
That man never missed a meal, at all.
Those former employees need to be prosecuted nd jailed nd made to repay back these funds. These monies are for people who really need it like that poor lady! Houston elected officials what are you doing with ur time if ur not paying attention to these kind of stealing of funds
@@doramena1267 thank you my friend have a bless day
Nice job Amy of pulling out their dirty laundry. But it would be more valuable to interview the mayor with all the receipts in front of him. Let him tell us what his office plan’s is. Someone needs to be held accountable.
Housing Authority is federal.
These guys were under sylvester turner's administration. He is the one who should be question. Whitmire has been transparent and encourages Amy to do her investigations.
That dude made WAY more than 6 trips to the steakhouse. And then he stiffed the server on a $1254 tab? What a clown.
that's why some restaurants have mandatory or automatic tip fee included
Hopefully, he tipped in cash. I really hope he didn't stiff that server.
@@poppasmurf2044 there's a reason many wait staff avoid waiting on a black table lol....
@@poppasmurf2044 I doubt it. Obviously his whole mission was not to spend any of his own money.
This was to impress someone. Spreading cash around like water out of a sieve. Disgusting.
They don’t need credit cards. Pre approval for travel expenses should be done ahead of time to stop this crap
Let them pay for it out of their pockets and then reimburse them after submitting receipts.
@Noneofyabusiness1 in my army unit, our cards were only turned on when we traveled and a daily meal and hotel perdiem was included based on the location traveled. If you went over that amount you had to pay the overage out of your own funds. It appears there was absolutely no oversight in the agencies credit card use.
So this is why our taxes are going up without anyone being held accountable
$500.00 meal and a $10.00tip
ur getting 5 cents dammit! 5 cents! lmao!
I doubt they tipped at all.
Fax it wasn't even they money They could have just went ahead and tipped appropriately
They think they’re above everyone else.
Where are you coming up with a $10 tip? Bill was $502.xx and total was $582.xx, tip $80 or 16%
Even in power these people really are keeping the stereotypes alive.
You should look up what the city manager of Los Angeles was doing with taxpayers 💰 🤑
You can't put 🌚 anywhere.
Just like Americas elected self serving indicted felon orange crook.
So Caucasians don't steal or misappropriate funds?
Have any of those involved apologized or spoken publicly?
Lol
Lol. I worked for the gov and a non profit..... If only you could see how money is moved around. So this is really no surprise
They only exist to pay themselves.
They should have to pay every cent back + interest and spend some time in jail!
I had this feeling when I was living in the housing authority my rent was $1,019. I hope this news lady is protected ❤
Corruption at it's finest 😂😂😂
This is just city level. Cant imagine states like California....
He doesn't look like he's skipped any meals
Big fat trick
They need to be made accountable for all their spending.
Why wasn’t this dept/these ppl audited??! These criminals need to be held accountable OFFICIALLY CHARGED in a court of Law, and PAY BACK ev single penny.
WE NEED EVERY DOLLAR TRACKED ON A LEDGER !!
I thought Texas wasn’t paying out reparations.
The whole country is paying them over and over and over and over and over....
This is why no one wants to hire us for anything and when we do get good jobs like this people say that we're really not qualified for them and it's just a DEI appointment.
Keep up the good work! They should be made to pay it back!
Make them pay back all of that money with interest
That's the lightest sentence they should get
Hope Kim Og do something about it, they needed to pay back all that tax payers money
Waaat? Government waste, spending and corruption? Say it isn't so!
... I'm a Republican but I'd vote for this new mayor in a heartbeat. He's an old school Dem, the kind who is more interested in fixing stuff than opening unisex bathrooms.
It’s crazy that’s absolutely nothing will happen to these con artists. We are the ones who will face the consequences.
"I'm surprised by this behavior!"
-nobody
DEI spending looks about right.
No clue what DEI means..😂 Diversity, Equality, Inclusion….
They purport that it means diversity, equity, and inclusion. How about doing the EQUITY part and repaying the taxpayer money???
Anyone surprised?
They need jail time. Anybody committing crimes should have all government hand outs cancelled
I worked in Harris County Communications and management was ALWAYS jet setting around the country. I bet they racked up just as much on the County tab. I once told one of them that the place is top heavy in bloated management and his reply was, "NO, its LIGHT on the bottom" Geez, I put in my time and got out of there.
Man eating that much and couldnt even leave a extra tip. Im about to start working in these fields to help clean house
Get them out! I eat canned spaghetti and meatballs so I can afford to help my families young and old! We don't need this in TX!
Same here. Starvation before living off other people's taxes.
You can't work on a empty stomach
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Remember they face zero consequences zero. Our tax dollars always clean up their mess
They need to go to jail ASAP
They just resign and get off the hook
Need regular non politician people running for office cause we all keep work they keep taking and we get the same results nothing except the bill
I’m not going to state the obvious, but we all see it!
Hmm. Is that a....trend, I see? Nah, just my silly 'ol brain playin' tricks on me
He ate 48 steaks
They fatten 🐖 themselves up while poor people struggle to eat! Why is it mostly the same type of people who () do the ste aling? It is so SAD!😢
Bet this happens a lot in other housing authorities.
They need to be charged. Any other citizen would been jailed already.
This is unbelievable, they should be responsible for this
He didn’t need a credit card for anything!! Big boy ridiculous
Make them repay every cent!!!
a slap on the wrist for this… wow
Reporter: my story won’t be believable if I don’t unzip a bag and pull out an empty container!😂😂😂
Oh my GOD!!
While many are out in the cold bc they are homeless this pair was spending Housing money like crazy!!!
So why were they allowed to do that? Who supervises them? Who takes audits? Why nobody notice until now?? Disguisting actions.
This is why people shouldn't pay taxes.
Figure out how to do that and get back to us, please.
These people belong in jail
Great job Amy 👏
They will be found guilty, but no sentences 😅
They MUST be prosecuted
4 out of 5.....
Almost every major entity in this city seems to be corrupt. HISD, Harris County Jails, Housing Authority, the list goes on
Sickening. They need to face federal charges .
That's why houston and surrounding areas are going to crap in general texas is going to crap. It pisses me off because it was such a beautiful place before pple had common curtesy.
Its child support and health and human services as well stealing
I'm a section 8 voucher participant from Houston Housing authority I put a portal in to transfer to another state in June of last year and I'm still waiting. I call them and no one tells me anything.
Section 8 housing is destroying our neighborhood. We pay our taxes, bills, mortgage by our own sweat. Sux to see people move in who do not even work.
They are squeezing the middle class dry dry talking beef jerky dry
I worked for the LCHA (Lake County Housing Authority) and David Northern was the head there - you need to look into the fraud he committed then 2005-2012
It is so easy to do that to anyone you want.
Da kings and queens da do wat da want
Huh? Speak real English
He needs to face criminal charges from LCHA to HHA - if they look into David Northern's history he would spend the rest of his life in prison! 2005-2012 is when I was there to see what he was doing he too Alan Jefferies legacy and destroyed it
OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!
$1254 bill and didn’t even tip either
Yes. Such a cliche.
Thanks Amy for putting in work for the city
DONT EVER INVESTIGATE
D.E.I
how dare y'all
None of these employees should even have a credit card!
And nothing will happen to them thanks to DEI
Closing the gate after the cows are already out, theses practices should already be in place on any agency handling the public’s funds. This is shameful.
It blows my mind that there are actually people who think that we should give the government MORE money. You'd have to be insane.
KPRC 2 gets a W for investigating the HAA. Corruption and Fraud
Which is why taxes should be illegal
Wow this is honestly crazy smh
Not surprised. Hope our new Mayor fixes it. When you’re spending other people’s money..there is NO BUDGET!
I need to speak to someone I'm now living in a hotel because Houston wouldn't pay my rent
Please put guard rails in place when we are around money unless you want it stolen.
The people running the HA should have been sent to jail and there needs to be reform where older Americans are helped instead of healthy able body women.
Enough. We don’t need government. We need people getting together as a. Team and helping each other.
Same thing going on in every city across the country
They been living it up meanwhile always saying the budget is low
All scammers, need to investigate the people they got into homes also
all of them need jail time
Notice the DEI hires….just sayin
centerpoint, that you?
Dayum shame....abusing the taxpayers because of their greed. Need to be jailed.
who were approving these expenses?
His boss, who looks like he had the same goals.
How many times is this kinda stuff going to happen

HUD and DOE need to go. People need to earn their way and take care of their own kids.
There is no longer any part of government that i trust, zero politicians, zero law enforcement, all i care about is my family
😂😂 at 1 : 07 the bill was 1254 and there wasn't even a tip left. Oops 😂😂
All involved should be locked up for corruption and other charges if proven to be true
Why were they given any settlements?
