Please join the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) Latino/a Law Students Association at the first Puerto Rican Diaspora Summit in Washington, D.C.  

This event is especially relevant given the destruction recently caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in Puerto Rico.  The conference will provide a space for the discussion of policy issues and the articulation of community responses to the island's economic and humanitarian crises from the perspective of Puerto Ricans in the Washington, D.C. area and other stakeholders. 

This event is also organized by the Center for Puerto Rican Studies, Cenadores Puerto Rico,100 Days for Puerto Rico, Friends of Puerto Rico, National Puerto Rican Agenda, and National Conference of Puerto Rican Women-DC Chapter. 

Oct 2017. DHS\OIG. FEMA Should Disallow $246,294 of $3.0 Million in Public Assistance Grant Funds Awarded

View it as a Web page.

The latest DHS OIG report is available on our website. FEMA Should Disallow $246,294 of $3.0 Million in Public Assistance Grant Funds Awarded to Lincoln  FEMA should disallow $246,294 of grant funds that the County spent on ineligible activities or did not support with adequate documentation. The County claimed $235,662 of direct administrative costs that were ineligible or unsupported. County officials said this occurred because they received inconsistent guidance from FEMA Region VII officials. FEMA Region VII officials acknowledged that applicants need clearer guidance to understand eligibility and support requirements for direct administrative costs. The County also claimed $10,632 of overstated material costs because of a clerical error. County officials acknowledged the error and agreed that FEMA should disallow those funds. After the exit conference, FEMA provided evidence it disallowed the ineligible material costs. Read Report No. OIG 17-118-D Office of Public Affairs E: dhs-oig.officepublicaffairs@oig.dhs.gov                         OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL l DHS WWW.OIG.DHS.GOV  l TWITTER: @DHSOIG DHS OIG Reports by Category Fiscal Year   2017 DHS Agency     CBP    ICE    FEMA    Management    TSA    USCG    USCIS    USSS  OTHERS    Semiannual Report (SAR)
