The Department of Housing and Urban Development likely paid out more than $84 million in ineligible assistance to Minnesota during President Joe Biden’s final year in office — including to more than 500 “deceased tenants,” according to officials and documents reviewed by The Post.
HUD has been looking into billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded housing aid doled out by the Biden administration — and its most recent review found $84.6 million in potentially erroneous payments in fiscal year 2024.
That included up to $496,000 in improper assistance to 509 dead tenants.
Approximately $246,000 more was shelled out to 20 people whose Social Security numbers couldn’t be verified, meaning they were likely non-citizens.
“Biden’s HUD failed the people of Minnesota — paying dead people while vulnerable families were left behind,” Secretary Scott Turner said.
“This gross level of mismanagement and failure to safeguard American taxpayer dollars is unacceptable. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are holding bad actors accountable and will continue to root out rampant fraud in Minnesota and across the country.”
HUD’s review comes as Minnesota faces mounting accusations of widespread fraud totaling billions of dollars over the course of Democratic Gov. Tim Walz’s tenure. Walz dropped his bid for a third term amid the scandal.
The funding went to 61 housing authorities across the Land of 10,000 Lakes, officials said in the preliminary audit, which was not able to fully confirm fraud had taken place.

Look, M.R., the dead need housing also doncha know.
That wasn’t an error.
Error, my arse
Maybe the Biden fools used GPS devices to keep track of the recipients of the millions of dollars in aid.
“A lot of them don’t get out much. They never seem to go anywhere. Homebodies.”
I do not believe that is the correct word to be using here.
Some were people paid off who said they had the authority to bring home the money for the listed recipient.
And all of them gave 90% as donations to the Kamala Harris campaign.
Great money laundering.
LOL in error, OMG I almost peed myself laughing..yeah error my a@@ more like “Here’s some dough now you be good lil pirates and vote Dem”
Next time track the money better with Quicken Simplifi like the little girl in the TV ad who used her allowance, birthday money, savings and investments to buy Sparkle the pony. All on her phone app.
Otherwise the millions in government aid money just gets lost somehow.
I’m guessing it was a lot more. The word last week was it was $12 B.
Anyway, no. It was no error.
“in error”. I have a bridge to sell you.
Error yeah right.
Whoops. Just an error ya know. Whoopsie daisy...so sorry!
