DOGE says Texas nonprofit with former Biden transition member reaped millions operating empty facility
As a result of the contract, Family Endeavors’ cash and portfolio of investments jumped from $8.3 million in 2020 to $520 million in 2023
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.
Since March 2024, HHS has paid $18 million per month to keep a facility in Pecos, Texas, used for housing for unaccompanied migrant children that was previously at the center of reports of poor conditions. 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.
The amount of non-oversite in these departments is unreal. - Or if intentional - that is criminal and I hope that some heads roll during all this digging that DOGE is doing. At the rate DOGE is going we may have a balanced budget for the first time in a VERY VERY long time.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) backed legislation that funneled millions to his wife’s environmental nonprofit, Ocean Conservancy.
She’s been paid nearly $2.7M while the group raked in $14.2M+ in federal grants—funded by bills Whitehouse voted for!
Now, an ethics watchdog is calling for an investigation into this blatant corruption.

Don't you think its weird that while the Dems are attacking DOGE for having the access to data to find govt waste, they aren't attacking any of the wasteful programs DOGE has actually uncovered

You know you’re old when the only mail you get is ads for hearing aids and cremation.
