"Va Lecia Adams Kellum" is shown below. At first, I wondered if she was affiliated with Virginia or the Veterans Administration.

State conflict of interest laws ban public officials from any involvement in contracts in which they have a financial interest, including agreements that financially benefit their spouse or groups that pay their spouse.
Los Angeles’ top homeless services executive told LAist in December that she stuck to those rules, saying she had been walled off and “completely recused” from business relating to her husband’s employer.
Through a public records request, LAist later discovered records that contradict her assertion.
The documents show that Va Lecia Adams Kellum, chief executive of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), signed a $2.1 million contract and two other contract amendments with Upward Bound House, the Santa Monica-based nonprofit where her husband Edward Kellum works in senior leadership. The contract names Adams Kellum as the LAHSA official authorized to administer it.

No, no they don’t.
And yes, I realize it was a rhetorical question.
What would be more surprising would be a black female non-crook in government. They appear to be unicorns.
Va Lecia Adams Kellum, chief executive of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), broke the law when she signed a $2.1 million contract and two other contract amendments with Upward Bound House, the Santa Monica-based nonprofit where her husband Edward Kellum works in senior leadership. The contract names Adams Kellum as the LAHSA official authorized to administer it.
Even more egregious......she denied she did this.
There are a lot of libs that point out the homeless money fraud in CA. Like poof, money all gone.

These “holier-then-thou, arrogant, loser corrupto-crats are disgusting...and should be arrested for their ongoing crimes.
You always launder the money through your spouse, ax AOC.
That’s the grift. Big chunks of money are allocated, the agencies block grant it to subs, who then contract to subs, who contract to subs who contract to subs. All of ‘em need offices and office workers and company cars and health insurance and 6 figure salaries, expense accounts and per diems etc. Almost nothing left to deliver to the homeless; who are mostly impossible to reach anyway because they are drugged out or mentally disturbed. But they get paid for “trying to care” while they insist we can’t force people off the street or to get medical care.
“holier-then-thou, arrogant, loser corrupto-crats are disgusting...
how did they get these jobs?
Question her?
RACIST!!!
/s/s/s
Now I don’t care what you say, that’s a surprise.
Doing a great job with the homeless she needs to hook up with former NYC mayors DiBlasio’s black lesbian wife McCray who was appointed director of the mental health initiative where 850 million is still unaccounted for and she walks the streets free. So many crooks and so little places to put them all
...all the while insisting “we can’t cut the budget — we need MORE money!”
Homelessness is probably the biggest industry in California.
In CaCaLand you get a wine&cheese party.
There have been dozens of “homeless caca” programs with tens of millions of $$. <1% ever actually ends up on the street helping anyone. Audit after audit shows this. All a scam.
The commies are learning how to become capitalists on the taxpayers dime.
My late mom said that the black kids with funny names was because the parents could not spell .I miss her
