Milwaukee is in the midst of a scandal involving the misappropriation of federal funds by the Housing Authority of Milwaukee (HACM). A report by Today’s TMJ 4 revealed that $2.8 million in Section 8 housing funds were used to pay agency employees instead of helping low-income residents. Former HACM director Willie Hines, who resigned amid calls for his resignation, is believed to have orchestrated the scheme. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has ordered an audit and investigation into the matter.
Hines’ questionable hiring process and previous violations of federal regulations have raised suspicions about his motives and actions. The FBI is now being called upon to investigate the extent of the fraud and hold those responsible accountable, including potentially Hines and his associates.
This scandal comes in the wake of President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) identifying wasteful government spending at USAID, which has sparked protests by Democrats who benefit from the agency’s funding of NGOs that promote left-wing causes. The freeze on expenditures by USAID and the need for a full audit mirror the situation with HACM, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in government agencies.
The case in Milwaukee sheds light on the potential for corruption within governmental organizations and the importance of oversight and investigation to ensure that public funds are being used appropriately. The involvement of the FBI and HUD signals a serious effort to uncover the truth and hold those responsible for the misappropriation of funds at HACM accountable for their actions.
