Rental Assistance Fraud
FILE – Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., speaks during a House Financial Services Committee hearing, Sept. 30, 2021 on Capitol Hill in Washington. The U.S. Government Accountability Office is warning that U.S. Treasury Department needs to do more to balance efforts to get rental assistance funds out fast with measures to prevent fraud. McHenry, the top Republican on the House Financial Service Committee, says the GAO report showed Treasury had “failed to conduct basic oversight of billions of dollars of ERA (Emergency Rental Assistance) funds.” (Al Drago/Pool via AP, File)
