In 2019 #SanDiego #AlphaProject's Bob McElroy was on multiple IRS filings:
"Low income housing" for "Anaheim Gardens Corporation," and "Oxford Terrace"- and another for Alpha Project
He's running a multimillion #Homelessness Industrial Complex w/ multiple charities

Their operations include exploiting people via "crew labor"-
People who are criminalized for #homelessness & arrested for encroachment violations are offered a chance to "work off" their penalties doing unpaid labor for Alpha Project

Meanwhile people living in the #AlphaProject shelters had to wait weeks for safe drinking water, despite reports of "drinking water for clients/staff is coming out brown/yellow"

"The [#AlphaProject] agency programs do not aim at making #homelessness easier, or less costly, or more tolerable..."

Monstrous. This is why people are dying on our streets every day and night: being #homeless shouldn't be easy, or tolerable. Make it expensive & brutal.

Oddly- this return from 2017 describes their "primary unrelated business activity" as "PRODUCE A GREAT PRODUCT"- and was filed/time stamped in Ogden, UT
