Several homeless families say they signed leases with the help of New Castle County officials for homes that weren’t delivered.
Some used government funds to secure the housing.
The home in question is located at 7030 Woodland Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia.
When the Investigative Team stopped by the property, it appeared vacant. A peek in the window also showed a home in disrepair.
The home was supposed to be a sanctuary for David Rogers, who was unhoused, and his 13-year-old daughter.
“You know, my back was to the wall because I didn’t have any other option except to pursue that one,” he said.
At the time, Rogers was staying at the New Castle County Hope Center, which provides housing and support for homelessness.
With his 90-day stay coming to an end, he told the Investigative Team his county case worker gave him contact information for Toure Henderson who claimed to run a company called Wealth of Society.
Wealth of Society claimed to be in the real estate, cars and construction business, according to a 2019 YouTube video.
