1 week agoMinnesota housing program under federal fraud investigation
Originally expected to cost $2.5 million per year, the costs of Minnesota's Housing Stabilization Services program surged to $21 million in 2021 and reached $104 million last year. Investigators believe the program is exceedingly vulnerable to fraud and identified multiple business locations tied to fraudulent activities across the Twin Cities metro area. Companies created to provide housing support have exploited the housing and addiction crisis, preying on vulnerable individuals by promising stable housing and billing for services not provided.
