This is an attempt to spread AWARENESS regarding health hazards, Data security issues with client protected data, human rights violations, fraud, waste and CONSPIRACY to conceal crimes in order to prevent damage.

“Volunteers of America Southwest California (“VOASC”) was dismantled and lost assets. After a whistleblower and auditor reported numerous fraudulent activities and poor practices, VOASC ended up in a private lawsuit and legal action with the county.” Thomas ingram law group 11/13/24

“Volunteers of America VOA Mid-States terminated former Chief Operating Officer Tiffany Cole Hall in January 2023 after an internal investigation found she was using a VOA-issued credit card to skim funds "intended to support the vulnerable individuals and communities VOA Mid-States serves" for personal use, according to a statement provided on behalf of the organization.”

“Volunteers of America Los Angeles has also been found to have a string of accountant errors, fraud, and misuse of public funds. The Department of Veteran Affairs conducted an audit for the double billing of its Veteran Service Center. It was concluded the organization knowingly billed for services that weren’t rendered. At the highest of the scandal, the organization billed $100,000 per months, then dwindled to $10,000 per month after auditors notified the organization of their mal practices. The organization parachuted the program manager Henry Wilson for this scandal to go away.”

Between 2020-2023 VOAWW made $14.8M in profits. This money was then disovled back into the buisness.

During that same time as a rapid rehousing case manager working with the most vulnerable placing them into housing from chronic HOMELESSNESS.

The program paid for housing, UTILITIES, my wages, and an ADMIN fee of 18% to VOAWW for administering the work.

This left the clients with no money for napkins,dishes, silverware, cookware, towels, floor mat, shower curtain, toilet paper,bedding, bed, chair, table, couch, tv, radio or even bus fair….

No way to prepare for looking for work,have the ability to be ready for retaining work, no way to get to work and no way to be successful at work.

Then after the year is up VOAww takes cuts funding and blames the lack of success on the CLIENTS and case MANAGEr and now the person is back out on the streets to be counted for funding again.

The majority are on socila security or actively using drugs… Meaning they are the indeed most vulnerable.

However, the executives, instead of pushing money towards the bottom to ensure success— they give themselves raises with bonus money, bought new company vehicles, high end office FURNITURE,catering,with all the COFFEES, treats, cups, plates, cookware, and had cozy places to sleep with family/social support while every single one of THEIR basic needs were met.

They make THEIR money of the backs of the disabled and vulnerable in SNOHOMISH and funnel every dollar they can away from that population to themselves.

There really is no profit in makng homelessness go away.

Consider this; HOMELESSNESS went up 13 percent while they gave THEMSELVES bonus and raise money instead of making sure clients had fundamental basic met.

And while funneling money away from the population they SUPPOSEDLY serve they waived educational REQUIREMENTS and allowed loose EXPERIENCEd employees engage cause human rights issues, EXPOSED the COMMUNITY to FENTANYL and meth AMPHETAMINES, allowed employees to nickname and make fun of CLIENTS, allow clients with mental health issues to live in bug infested SQUALOR covered in feces while LYING to MULTIPLE AGENCIES including commerce,the health department, and SNOHOMISH County human services as this site attempts to prove.
