Jacksonville inspector general report questions how Clara White Mission spent millions in taxpayer dollars

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville’s inspector general is cracking down on the relationship between the city and a nonprofit helping the homeless community.That prompted an investigation by the FBI, which also led to the inspector general reviewing how Clara White Mission has spent more than $3,500,000 taxpayer dollars.

“Applying for the grants, they talk about documenting unduplicated people, so there’s no way to say if these people are unduplicated or not because they’re not asking for their name," said Samples. “If 350 people congregate in one place in downtown, there’d be a traffic problem," said Samples."We just didn’t see that.”

With these three issues, the inspector general recommended the City of Jacksonville’s Division of Grants and Contract Compliance to strengthen document collection from nonprofits receiving city money.
