The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is investigating whether Colorado providers helped nearly 3,000 people swindle taxpayer money from Uncle Sam, The Post has learned.
The investigation comes after an internal HUD audit found that benefits were granted to 221 dead people, while another 87 were otherwise ineligible.
The department also said that another 2,519 beneficiaries will need to undergo additional verification. “From deceased tenants to individuals receiving HUD housing benefits who were never supposed to, the Department has questions for HUD-supported housing providers in Colorado, and we expect prompt answers and enforcement action,” a HUD spokesperson told The Post.
The apparent fraud took place in most of the Rocky Mountain State’s 59 public housing agencies (PHAs) and was particularly pronounced in the Denver Housing Authority, a source said.
HUD officials are set to demand PHAs perform additional verification of beneficiaries and remove both deceased tenants and ineligible beneficiaries from their rolls.

“59 public housing agencies”
Lots of room for theft.
And some people said they wouldn’t be caught dead in public housing.
Earlier this week, the Washington Examiner reported that the department plans to dispatch investigators to Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn., to assess the state of housing programs there.
Folks,
there are a lot of things going on.
But they ALL voted Democrap...
Jeez, dead people also need a place to stay. /s
If they don’t have a legal address then they can’t vote. Why does everyone hate dead people?
TRUMP SHOULD PROPOSE MNDATORY MINIMUM 20 YEARS FOR ANY GOVERNMENT FRAUD (INCLUDING VOTE FRAUD)
Include a 1 year amnesty period for self reporting, and a reward or 10% of the money for turning someone else in.
The dead are angry their voting rights may be taken away. Note: The dead vote more often (Detroit, Chicago et al.) than the living, who are always in the apathetic majority (such as the candidate won with 41,000 votes as only 15% of the registered people voted).
My question is dead for how long? Less than 30 days isn’t a problem as it takes times for various systems to interface. More than 60 days indicates a serious problem. More than 90 days is very likely fraud.
If dad votes democrat again, I’m putting his ashes in the garage.
Ha.
Feisty guy.
Ghetto love.
“Trump admin probes Colorado after 221 dead people received federal housing assistance”
And they probably all voted for Biden in the 2020 election.
YES!!! Harder please.
Dead or undead? There’s a difference. Vampires take up little room in a basement with just enough room for a casket and no sunlight.
“From the deceased swindling tax dollars to individuals pocketing HUD housing benefits who were never supposed to, the fraud took place in most of the State’s 59 public housing agencies (PHAs) and was particularly pronounced in the state's Denver Housing Authority, a source said.
Democrat Colorado Gov Jared Polis is proud to be Jewish, making him the state's first Jewish governor.
Gov Polis assiduously practices Judaism, incorporating Jewish traditions in his family life,
<>including his wedding ceremony with Jewish rites
<>and Polis officiating at events like Yom Kippur.
<>Polis often speaks about his Jewish identity and commitment to combating antisemitism,
<>Polis reflects his deep connection to the Jewish faith and the Jewish community.
Maybe Colorado helped the dead people cemetery assistance. I mean, dead people have rights to affordable housing, too!! 😀
When you find one cockroach, there are 1,000 more in the building.
Bring in the exterminators.
[include list of Jewish support activities]
Nothing wrong with any of that in my book.
It is all of his other policies with which I disagree.
