Homeless advocates refuse to follow federal-grant spending regulations

A Denver-based nonprofit advocacy group for the homeless that has received more than $90 million in federal grants refuses to heed official rules on how tax dollars can be spent, according to a government watchdog. Since 2007, the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless - one of the nation's oldest advocacy groups on behalf of persons living on the streets - has received 591 grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Justice, Social Security Administration and Department of Labor, according to USASpending.gov.
