As Mayor, I will not treat the Controller as an adversary for telling the truth. I will listen to warnings, act on audits, and give the Controller’s office the resources and access it needs to protect the public.

Controller Kenneth Mejia’s statement on our Fraud, Waste & Abuse investigation into homeless service provider. Today, the US Attorney’s Office arrested Alexander Soofer, Executive Director of Abundant Blessings, charging him with fraudulently obtaining $23 mil in public money.

January 23, 2026
RE: FRAUD, WASTE, AND ABUSE INVESTIGATION ON HOMELESS SERVICE PROVIDEF
In July 2024, and as previously reported by our Office, the Controller's Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (FWA) Unit received a hotline tip alleging contractor fraud by a service provider at an nside Safe hotel. Upon receiving the allegation, our FWA investigators conducted an on-site visit of the location, interviewed residents and staff, and launched a formal investigation intc allegations of contractor fraud. This formal investigation included determining whether the contractor provided food services to unhoused residents in accordance with their contractual obligations. In conjunction with the investigation, the FWA Unit was able to secure immediate relief for vulnerable residents by ensuring corrective action that led to the provision o1 nutritious meals for residents at the Inside Safe site.
The FWA Unit's timely and thorough investigative efforts garnered the attention of local and federal law enforcement agencies. Today, the United States Attorney's Office arrestec Alexander Soofer, executive director of Abundant Blessings, on a federal criminal complaint charging him with fraudulently obtaining $23 million in public money intended to combat homelessness.
Allegations about contractor fraud are especially concerning because the City spends billions on goods and services each year. Multiple performance audits conducted by our Office in recent years have shown a significant lack of contractor oversight by City departments. These conditions increase the risk that taxpayer funds are being wasted, which leaves less money available to deliver critical services to residents during the City's ongoing fiscal emergency.
As a result of the FWA Unit's investigative findings, our investigators will be conducting proactive inspections of shelter facilities to ensure that contractors are providing services in accordance with established requirements. This critical oversight function is imperative…

When it comes to the LAPD, the City will always find the money to fund them no matter what's been approved in the budget or what the City's spending plan is. If they overspend, rack up liability claims, etc., City Hall will just take the money from elsewhere to give to LAPD.

If the City surpasses the budgeted amount, the City will need to look elsewhere for funding. That can mean pulling from the reserve fund or even defunding other departments. This is why we launched an audit to determine what is the City doing to prevent harm and liabilities.

With 7 months left to go in the fiscal year, the City of LA has already spent $90 MILLION or 48% of it's annual liability budget. At this rate, the City will surpass $200 million in liability payouts (like last two fiscal years). It's a BIG REASON why the City is in bad $ shape.
