夏威夷州审计：州长kauhale无家可归者计划1370万美元支出存疑
据檀香山Civil Beat与美联社报道，州审计长莱斯·近藤10月7日发布的58页审计报告发现，州长乔希·格林标志性的kauhale无家可归者计划存在超过1,370万美元“未经授权、无依据或可疑”的支出。
近藤的26-11号报告审查了州无家可归与住房解决方案办公室对该计划的管理。审计发现，该办公室没有做好运营全州公共工程项目的准备，未能提供保护公共资金所需的监管。抽查的向非盈利承包商HomeAid Hawaiʻi支付的款项被归类为未经授权、无依据或可疑——审计方指出，这反映的是监管缺失，而非认定全额资金损失。
审计审查了九份HomeAid开发协议（不含与aio基金会另签的300万美元协议）。部分项目在合同签署前就已开工——至少两处，即卡利希谷20户住宅项目和一处已关闭的医疗暂托单元，根本没有签署合同。在两份合同——Windward社区学院附近的Ka Malu Koʻolau Kauhale和卡利希的Hoʻokahi Leo项目——州政府支付金额超出批准预算100多万美元。
截至6月，全州共有26个kauhale项目，提供900多个单元；列出的合同总额达79,990,473美元。HomeAid Hawaiʻi回应称，审计忽略了岛上建筑商捐赠的资金、材料和人力，这些捐赠降低了项目成本。
Hawaii Audit Flags $13.7 Million in Questionable Spending on Governor's Kauhale Program
A 58-page state audit released October 7 found more than $13.7 million in "unauthorized, unsupported or questionable" payments under Gov. Josh Green's signature kauhale homeless initiative, the Honolulu Civil Beat and AP reported.
State Auditor Les Kondo's Report 26-11 examined the Statewide Office on Homelessness and Housing Solutions' administration of the program. The audit found the office was not prepared to run a statewide public-works effort and failed to provide oversight needed to protect public funds. Sampled payments to the nonprofit contractor HomeAid Hawaiʻi were categorized as unauthorized, unsupported or questionable — though the auditor noted this reflects oversight failures, not a finding that the full amount was lost.
The audit reviewed nine HomeAid development agreements (excluding a separate $3 million agreement with the aio Foundation). In some cases, work began before contracts were signed — in at least two cases, a 20-home project in Kalihi Valley and a now-closed medical respite unit, no contracts were signed at all. On two contracts — the Ka Malu Koʻolau Kauhale near Windward Community College and the Hoʻokahi Leo project in Kalihi — the state paid more than $1 million over approved budgets.
As of June, the state listed 26 kauhale projects statewide offering more than 900 units. Total listed contracts reached $79,990,473. HomeAid Hawaiʻi responded that the audit overlooked donated money, materials and labor from island builders that lowered project costs.
