You’d expect that people working for Homeless Services in California would have the public’s best interests at heart. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case for the head of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). It all began when two employees were wrongfully terminated. Why? According to whistleblowers, Va Lecia Adams Kellum wanted her friends in those roles, so the current staff had to be forced out. Feeling mistreated, the two employees sued LAHSA and ultimately received an $800,000 settlement.
At first, there wasn’t much public information about the case. But recently released whistleblower letters have shed more light on the situation. And it’s worse than anyone thought.
