The Department of Health and Human Services has terminated a contract with a nonprofit that was paid millions each month to operate a Texas overflow facility that sat empty, according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
In a social media post, DOGE said a former U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement employee and Biden transition team member joined Family Endeavors in early 2021, where they helped the organization secure a sole-source HHS contract for overflow housing from licensed care facilities.
"As a result, Family Endeavors’ cash and portfolio of investments grew from $8.3M in 2020 to $520.4M in 2023, the post states.

The payments continued, despite the facility being empty, DOGE said.
"With national licensed facility occupancy now below 20%, HHS was able to terminate this contract, saving taxpayers over $215M annually," the post on X states.
Who cashed the checks or spent the $$?
They need to pay it back.
They need to pay it back with interest while serving a lengthy prison sentence. Maybe at Gitmo.
They also need to go to jail!

Family Endeavors Pecos TX
Family Endeavors is led by its CEO, Charles “Chip” Fulghum, who took over the role from Travis Pearson in March 2019.
The organization operates a facility in Pecos, Texas, which has been in the news due to recent federal government cuts and allegations of mismanagement.
AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts.
Looks like they didn’t spend much money at all. Had a cash hoard of over $500 million of taxpayer dollars. Probably intended to be another slush fund. They need to return that cash to the treasury. This looks like fraud. “Price gouging”.
AGREE!!
Gotta hand it to leftists, they know how to maximize corruption. On the one hand they generate mass illegal immigration, while on the other hand they use the crisis as an excuse to fleece half a billion dollars from taxpayers for a scam to supposedly deal with it. And that’s just one scam they were running. The government/country has been full of them.
Thanks to individuals at Department Of Government Efficiency. GREAT work.
Math (or editing) is hard.

I am busy on other projects at the moment, but it would be good for everybody to see the FORM 990 for Endeavors for past 10 years.
How big was this organization before getting billions from Biden?
The margins have to be pretty good with an operation like that.
Talk about obscene profits.
claw back
the 500m is our money
Depends on how the contract was written. If the government was paying to run it but the government never sent any clients, then it’s on the government. If you signed a contract to rent an apartment but you never moved in or moved out but still kept sending the rental payment, it’s not on the apartment owner to send back his check. But it is criminal if it was all a money laundering scam like everything else was under Biden and most likely obamy.
Wonder who ratted them out and does he have protection?
Pure fraud....the DOJ and FBI should be investigating and handing out indictments
I still want to know where the (MILLIONS) money went.
Someone had to be cashing in.
Someone needs to go to jail.
Hey an empty facility keeps your overhead down.
They SHOULD pay it back but they had a contract that probably didn’t specify whether or not the building needs to be occupied. If there were occupancy conditions in the contract then that’s a different story.
The ones who issued the contract and should have monitored it ought to be in BIG trouble!!! They should at least be fired for extreme incompetence.
“””Pure fraud....the DOJ and FBI should be investigating and handing out indictments”””
Add IRS to the list of investigators. When a non-profit files their Form 990, they are subject to an IRS audit.
It would be the height of irony if the 87,000 IRS agents added by Biden were told to audit each of the Non-profit NGO’s who received billions from Biden.
So why wasn’t the fluffer arrested and held until the money is returned!??
