    The Unity Council, Is that $1.7Mil to cover 2016 Fy Loss, & $557,000 to replace known 2014~2015 NeighborWorks America Misused Funds? What other fund helped cover these losses during 2016 for them to be able to OVERSPEND $2.4 Mil. There are rules they FAIL to follow.

    Then we are going to allow them north of $70,000,000.00 for an affordable housing project? At which point is this NOT a Problem. Increasing every Year... And On, And On...

    AN UNALLOWED AUDIT? The City's raters continue to rate them #1 over other Non Profits. They must have used figures in UNALLOWED Audit.

    Keep Telling me that it is not hurting the Children?
