It’s a small faith based organization that helps women get out of prostitution or porn acting. It is not a sex advocacy group.

Probably got a small or disadvantaged business plus up during the revie process.

Next question is what kind of kickbacks were the career DOJ officials getting from the other two???

Where do the "Hookers for Jesus" have their meetings?
Asking for a friend.

I appreciate Annie Lobert, but her organization is always on the edge of disaster. She takes on more sex workers than her organization has money coming in to support. If the garage door breaks or the stove goes out they are in trouble.

She needs to do better with what she has before being funded to take care of more people.

I don’t think she was necessarily treated unfairly.
I think an accountant looked at her books in the application process and threw up his hands.

I’ve been on her mailing list for over a decade, and each time she asks for help in the latest crisis I have to look at the situation and evaluate how much more money is going to help whoever’s in her residential program at the time.

Not everything she tries to fix with money can be fixed with money, and she needs to keep a separate account adequate to maintain the facilities.

No, it’s a small residential rehabilitation facility to get women out of the commercial sex industry.

#14. You have no idea how many times Hookers for Jesus told Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) that “No, we don’t give discounts to congressmen”. /sarc but I wonder if Reid used to visit the old Mustang Ranch since he was such a great “wrangler” of people in Congress.

Stop all of these grant giveaways.
Most of the recipients work against the citizens and the rule of law anyway.

“IMHO, “career DOJ officials” = Deep State anti-American leftist progressives. I trust not a single career DOJ employee.”

I hope our president is making plans to get rid of the lot of them.

There is an appeal process in the grants system. WB is not intended to circumvent that.

Agreed. The guv is terrible at giving out grants. Just shouldn’t do it.
