HUD Has Given ACORN $300,000

Under Barack Obama's jobs bill ACORN and other radical left-wing groups would be eligible for up to $15 billion in federal funding.  Congress in 2010, passed a federal law making it illegal to use taxpayer monies to fund the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) or any organization with ties to ACORN. 

This August, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA) a $300,000 grant.

AHCOA was previously named Acorn Housing Corporation and still occupies the same Chicago office and address.  They are also using the same Data Universal Number System (DUNS) number to apply for and receive taxpayer funded grants.  DUNS numbers are unique to specific organizations and location.  For AHCOA to be legally using the same DUNS code, it legally has to be the same organization.

Understanding that AHCOA is a Chicago based organization and Chicago being the home of one Barrack Obama, it’s no surprise that the current administration would try to find a way to divert taxpayer money to AHCOA.  ACORN officials and their affiliates have not only been involved with fraud, but they have always been strong supporters of Obama and he still has ties with them.

The draft legislation, which had not yet been introduced in Congress at press time, makes ACORN, Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA), and a phalanx of leftist groups that regularly feed at the public trough eligible for funding.

Section 261 of the bill provides $15 billion for “Project Rebuild.” Grants would be given to “qualified nonprofit organizations, businesses or consortia of eligible entities for the redevelopment of abandoned and foreclosed-upon properties and for the stabilization of affected neighborhoods.” Radical groups like ACORN won’t get the whole $15 billion, though, because they will have to compete with state and local governments for the money.

Obama and his administration again is circumventing Congress and the will of the people.  ACORN is corrupt as is Obama.  One more reason not to pass Obama's stimulus bill he has renamed a jobs bill.
