Recent investigations and audits have uncovered significant financial mismanagement and corruption within the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) and the Adams Administration's handling of migrant services contracts. A bribery takedown involving 70 NYCHA staff over no-bid contracts has prompted a closer examination by THECITYNY. In response, the NYCCouncil announced a joint oversight hearing to investigate NYCHA’s response to bribery and extortion in micro-purchase contracts. Additionally, an audit revealed that NYC taxpayers were fleeced out of millions of dollars due to the rushed no-bid migrant contracts by the Adams Administration, with the NYC Comptroller criticizing the administration's haphazard approach to emergency contracting, leading to @nycgov agencies overpaying millions of dollars to staff asylum seeker services. The NYCHA Chair has vowed to seek restitution for these overpayments during a NYCCouncil hearing following a big NYC_DOI probe into the corruption.
