A report by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently revealed billions in taxpayer funds that went to "questionable" rental assistance recipients under former President Joe Biden.

The recipients included approximately 30,000 deceased tenants and thousands of potential non-citizens, according to a copy of HUD's "Agency Financial Report" for fiscal year 2025 obtained by the New York Post.

HUD officials told the Post that a "large concentration" of the funds went to New York, California and Washington, D.C., with deceased recipients getting funds in all 50 states.

The department conducted an automation that compared a U.S. Treasury database to HUD's records. The process uncovered 30,054 deceased tenants who were either actively enrolled in rental assistance programs or had received assistance after they passed, according to HUD's report. The department found the possibly problematic payments through its own internal financial review and analytics, according to the report.

And Republicans have done nothing to stop it.  Even with a Republican in the White House and Republicans controlling both houses of Congress, these payments continue at 2022 Pelosi levels (+ an automatic COLA increase).

When are Republicans going to start governing?  Get off your collective asses and draw up a budget - one that doesn’t fund the Democrat Party.

$5 Billion in HUD Fraud in 1 Year of Biden
Around 14% or 30,000 were dead and receiving tenant assistance.

The welfare state is one giant scam. Once you start handing out money, much of it will be stolen. And the more they steal, the more thieves will show up and at that point you either cut off the dough or go bankrupt. If you look at our federal, state and local budgets, they’ve been climbing, so the thievery is only getting worse. The Somalis are only the tip of the iceberg.

A US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report found more than $5 billion in taxpayer funds went to “questionable” rental assistance recipients during the final year of the Biden administration — including around 30,000 “deceased tenants” and “thousands” of potential non-citizens, The Post can reveal.

HUD’s Office of the Chief Financial Officer uncovered $5.8 billion of the “questionable” payments out of nearly $50 billion in total federal rental assistance to public housing authorities, contractors, landlords and other non-federal entities in fiscal year 2024, the 183-page report disclosed.

The around 11% of taxpayer dollars from HUD went to more than 200,000 possibly ineligible tenants — of whom 29,715 (around 14%) were dead, 9,472 (4%) were non-citizens and 165,393 (82%) were receiving sums that exceeded the threshold for assistance in their geographic region, particularly in New Orleans and other large metro areas.

Forget the Walking Dead, we’ve got the Welfare Dead.
