US Virgin Islands’ housing authority accused of corruption as federal funding is suspended

The U.S. Virgin Islands' housing authority faces accusations of corruption, leading to the suspension of federal funding by the U.S. government. An HUD investigation revealed financial mismanagement, with only $570,000 of $1.9 billion in disaster recovery funds spent since 2017, as residents continue to recover from Hurricane Irma and Maria. The authority is accused of improper payments, inadequate fraud controls, and misuse of funds for administrative costs.
