The California state auditor revealed that the state is at risk of losing billions of dollars in emergency rental funding as the deadline to send funds to applicants approaches.
“In August 2020, we designated the State’s management of federal COVID-19 funds as high risk after concluding that the likelihood of mismanagement of these funds is great enough to create substantial risk of serious detriment to the State and its residents,” State Auditor Elaine Howle said in a Sept. 16 report.
