Inspector general reports document alleged wage theft, opaque spending, and one former employee nabbing $2.2 million in BART contracts two months after quitting
The Bay Area Rapid Transit Agency funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars into a homeless outreach program run by the Salvation Army that resulted in just one confirmed unsheltered person entering treatment, according to aThe report is part of a handful of investigations at the transit agency released Friday afternoon, which document allegations of wage theft, opaque spending, and one former BART employee nabbing $2.2 million in contracts from the agency two months after quitting his job.
During the 24-month period, the team reported thousands of contacts with people but could only confirm one person using the residential treatment services. Meanwhile, BART saw a 21% year-over-year increase in unhoused people at its San Francisco stations in the first quarter of 2022. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency provided half the funds for the BART-awarded contract.
As of last year, 52% of unhoused residents surveyed during San Francisco’s point-in-time homelessness count reported struggling with drug or alcohol abuse. Richardson’s report calls on BART to demand repayment of $1,249,066 already paid out on the contract. BART refused this request but has canceled the remainder of the contract.
