They aren't hijacked, they are corrupt from the get go. There are over 1.8 million non profits in the U.S and growing. Need some money? Just create a non profit, pay yourself, family and friends to run it, then get some suckers to be unpaid volunteers to do the actual work and use the remaining 10% of your budget after expenses to the actual cause or recipients.
Just full of disrespect, all of em think their Tiiffany Henyard , everythings free, no one hasbto do anything but ruin what was once a beautiful. Turning Houston into Haiti .
KICKBACKS - contracts to friends, get a percentage, and find someone local to do the work for way less than the contract amount with the promise of more contracts, and everyone gets their share.

I’m about to have to take legal action against the apartment complex where I live, via a little assistance from the Houston Housing Authority-Veteran HUD-VASH program. I overpaid $5,300 to the complex and provided documentation of this, YET, the management will not return my money!
Plus those window units are not up to code. You can check out the 2021 IRC & 2021 MECHANICAL code. Units must provide heating and cooling. Along with proper outside air supplied for the space and people

What is it with these people. Give them an ounce of authority and they think they become kings and the taxpayers are the no answer to peasants. It's annoying af
Installing window AC units is something any handyman can do. I would think the HHA maintenance men could install them. What is harder is annually taking them out annually and hosing them out without getting the electronic part wet. It shouldn't require a license or HVAC contractor for window units. Anyone who can read directions can do it!
Director of housing and contractor look really alike- must be family. Same thing that happens in every state where you have DEI hires. Corruption at its best. Mayor Turner must have gotten a cut off that pie also.
I do not agree with corruption and do not condone this activity. I do have an issue with your DEI comments when “The Good Ole Boys” do the same things. It does not have to do with race. It has to do with corruption. Please stop with the race baiting it diminishes your valid points against corruption.
Houston needs to sent him and everyone involved max jail time. The city officials who defended him is probably involved too. Im sure he's gonna rat on all the others to get reduced time.
When we already have thousands of of landscaping companies why would they go out of state I think it’s because there ahead of the tax game and they have come to raise the price of contracts cost of living and keep wages low while charging 150% profit margin
Scamming tax payers should be illegal
Texas gov code, occupations code, and penal code are good starting points for inquiring minds or people unfamiliar with Texas laws.
Thank you Amy & KPRC. That’s our money their wasting (stealing)
Amy Davis is amazing. We don;t see many journalists this comprehensive.
Good job shining a bright light on the wrongful behavior that hurts The People❣️
Almost anyone can install a window ac and plug it into a wall outlet
I smell indictments on the way😂😂😂
Thanks to Amy and her team!
I hope so, taxpayers $$$$.😢
Keep going Amy!!
Hes fraudulent!!!!!! The Job isn't done keep digging
This is fraud flat out. If you can’t answer simple question for a business, that’s fraud.
Yet another job for the Texas Rangers to clean up corruption in Houston.
Corruption, corrupts absolutely
Houston government is VERY corrupt from top to bottom. Mayor Whitmier should work with the Feds to clean it up.

This sounds like a RICO or organized crime at the least.
Thanks for reporting on this I've seen the increase in squatters in Texas but did not know about the fraudulent deed transfers.

@@vincem2759think they meant the fraud is evident so what’s the issue, as in send them to jail
Every nonprofit in my area that is intended to bring money into the community has been hijacked in a similar way.
Yeah, some non-profits pay themselves $$$$$ then what's left goes to the organization.
They aren't hijacked, they are corrupt from the get go. There are over 1.8 million non profits in the U.S and growing. Need some money?

Thank you for shedding light on this story. Can't wait to see how this plays out.
damn good reporting and journalism. ABC, CBS, MSN, all those so called news organizations should take note
Great work on this. Keep it up
When is the corruption going to be stopped?
When we the people stand up and take our country and communities back! Takes honest people not to be corrupt!!
Ask the mayor what he thinks...

Looks like zero oversight and corruption.....Not answering questions reeks and needs to be addressed....
Agree! If you have nothing to hide...then stop hiding.
Their Compliance Dept is involved so 🦊 guarding 🐔
Houston used to be such a nice place 😞
I’m about to have to take legal action against the apartment complex where I live, via a little assistance from the Houston Housing Authority-Veteran HUD-VASH program. I overpaid $5,300 to the complex and provided documentation of this, YET, the management will not return my money!
Tell HUD and your congressperson
.THANK YOU for your investigations! I really appreciate you looking out for us all.
Please look some more into this matter. Someone needs to be made accountable for this situation.
Considering who's running the program, I am not one bit surprised! It's a character trait of these people!

This is corruption pan and simple. HHA needs to be held accountable.
Somebody needs to go to prison
You can’t have too many of the same kind working together, there will always be some shady business going on thinking nobody will find out.
Houston desperately trying to become Chicago and Detroit
Corruption beyond the unbelievable!
NYC, Chicago, and now Houston....😅
You left out Detroit from days gone by.

Bunch of corrupt people in positions of power
David Northern should be investigated and fired and sued for getting payed while robbing houstoners. You seen how quickly he ran off.
Where's the FBI ?
They are black and democrats.Nothing will happen.
Lock his a$$ up
REAL Investigative journalism!!
You gotta know there’s cash under the table
Thank you Amy! I’m so sick of cronyism!
Here I am following the rules like a dummy!🤦🏾♂️
Few, if any, government contracts give no kickbacks.
Good reporting!
Great report Rilwan.
Shady! I’m so sick and tired of this kind of theft!
You go girl! Thanks, Amy!
Con artists. Great news coverage!
They should also investigate Harris County Housing Authority too. A lot of inconsistencies and incompetency going on as well
Trust your government they have your best interest.
HHA IS HORRIBLE
Keep it up!!!! I see kickbacks and scamming !!
Defund HHA, and all Houston public corrupting works.
Usually ii is the lowest responsive bidder.
So sad!!
He needs to be investigated, fired & charged. Tax payers work hard for their money
If there is money, there are scammers trying to get some.
Why haven't charges been filed yet?
Take his butt to go court and send him to jail
Smells like corruption.

Wow this is so wrong! Good work kprc
Director of housing and contractor look really alike- must be family. Same thing that happens in every state where you have DEI hires. Corruption at its best.
Mayor Turner must have gotten a cut off that pie also.
Family for sure. But not all black people is a DEI employee
Yes True.
Not all are DEI hires.
I do not agree with corruption and do not condone this activity. I do have an issue with your DEI comments when “The Good Ole Boys” do the same things. It does not have to do with race. It has to do with corruption. Please stop with the race baiting it diminishes your valid points against corruption.
Unfortunately, the majority are DEI hires
Those contracts are very fishy and definitely unlawful . Keep digging for the correct answers
Im so tired of these incompetent pos. F them fire them all. Now!
You know these people are corrupt, why do you do business with them?
BLACK CORRUPTION NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. THESE ARE TAXPAYER'S MONEY & FUNDS. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.
Goes to show....when you got the power you can do what you want...right or wrong
Laundering taxpayers hard earned money through family and friends. Despicable
Send him to jail.
We have plenty of landscapers why do big investment firms keep purchasing landscaping companies and make it physically impossible to keep a job
Diversity is our strength.
Houston needs to sent him and everyone involved max jail time. The city officials who defended him is probably involved too. Im sure he's gonna rat on all the others to get reduced time.
3000 dollars for a window unit
They probably have a “Diddy” type relationship.
When we already have thousands of of landscaping companies why would they go out of state I think it’s because there ahead of the tax game and they have come to raise the price of contracts cost of living and keep wages low while charging 150% profit margin
It's shady....probably a family connection if y'all dig deep enough.
Here we go
God is exposing the wicked and pulling them down.
YOU'RE FiRED!! Corruption!!
Jail time
stay victimizing their own people.
They’ve been doing that for centuries
Someone better be going to jail and they better claw back all of the funds.
It’s called the hookup, inside job with a kickback
Typical non-profit/govt contract shenanigans. Also, those hoodies and hats look stupid.
They look like brothers😂😂😂
I can do it for 98% of what they were gonna charge and save you money
Half.
Wow!
So let me get this straight…. A online clothing business was hired to install ac????😮
Waste money giving jobs to unqualified people
Crook
Northern is gonna go to jail, and bragger took their profile private. Everyone about to get busted
