Have fraudsters cracked the code to cheat the state's rental assistance program? The CEO of a major risk reduction firm says yes.
According to the study, Black renters in San Francisco faced the sixth worst response rate in the country.
Geoffrey Ross of the California Department of Housing and Community Development says his security team estimates the amount of fraud at less than 1%."I have no idea where you would get that number. And I don't know of an expert that's communicated to me and my team," Ross said. "We have an amount of money that we believe, warrants investigation under fraud, pending all of our different tests," Ross continued.
"So clearly, I don't think they're aware because if they were aware, they would be implementing new systems and procedures to prevent it," Haywood Talcove said.He first reported the fraud to the state on January 4. For three weeks, no one got back to him. "I want the state to acknowledge that you know they've received, you know, my complaint, that fraud has been, you know, committed in my name," Arcieri said.And he did. Within a day, someone did reach out to Arcieri. Arcieri says he won't be satisfied until someone is prosecuted. However, he was happy to learn that the fraudulent claim in his name was not paid out.
