UNITED WOMEN OF EAST AFRICA SUPPORT TEAM - In San Diego, CA... A🧵

You might be asking yourself why the San Diego Foundation has revenue of $268,696,192.00 and Salaries of $12,927,880... I know I have been.

Well they provide Grants to about 2000 other NGO's in San Diego and around the world... 👀 one of which happens to be UNITED WOMEN OF EAST AFRICA SUPPORT TEAM where they receive $1,584,405 in Grant aid from them and $7,663,535 in Total Contributions where $2,338,309 goes to "Other Salaries" of which only $190,953 is listed for the Executive Director... they do have 8 Directors with no salaries listed which is interesting but we'll come back to that. Anyway, I decided to look a little deeper because this felt odd for "San Diego". It just feels like a @nickshirleyy episode... Another nondescript storefront at a strip-mallish building while interestingly offering every service you can possibly imagine.

This business has been asking for the removal of this garbage can for more than 4 months… and I’ve been trying to understand why Discover PB hasn’t had a lid or washed this for nearly 5 years.

A 🧵 Pacific Beach is in a Death Spiral with 3/5 Businesses “For Lease” with disrepair and filth everywhere because nothing has been maintained in years.

SDUT recently ran this article about "Head Start" aka "MAAC" which I addressed the other day as being a $68M/Year SD NGO Behemoth that owns:

1361 - "Affordable housing Units" in various cities throughout the county.
807 - "Future Affordable Housing Units" planned on acreage purchased and being held.
109,527 - Square Feet of Centers for Head Start

NGO's developing San Diego and other places are probably a bigger driver of inflation than AirBnB based on these numbers... this level of cash flow for a "non-profit" really is insane.

I am currently preparing a spreadsheet comparing all of the "San Diego Non-Profits" and came across their Audit... 👀 Found some interesting things for an organization revolving around kids for their first 5 years of age. 🧵 This is an excerpt from the Audit which I will ink at the end along with the audit summary which isn't exactly an endorsement. 🤔 Make your own determinations.

MAAC wholly owns or controls and operates:
• Mercado Apartments – a 144 unit apartment complex located in the City of San Diego, San Diego County, California, consisting of affordable rental housing.
• Carlsbad Laurel Tree Apartments – a 138 unit apartment project located in Carlsbad, San Diego County, California, consisting of affordable rental housing.
• MAAC Community Center - a 73,000 square foot property located in Chula Vista, San Diego County, California, which is used for a Charter High School and various programs.
• Vale Terrace – a 29,000 square foot property located in Vista, San Diego County, California which is used for Head Start and other child development services.
• Gosnell Center - a 7,000 square foot property located in San Marcos, San Diego County, California which is used for Head Start and preschool programs.
• San Martin De Porres Apartments - a 116 unit apartment project in the City of Spring Valley, San Diego County, California, consisting of affordable rental housing.
• MAAC National City LLC – Land held in National City (the National City Project), California, to be developed into a 400 unit affordable rental housing project. Construction is expected to commence in 2024.
• MAAC Ivy LLC - Land held in Escondido (the Ivy Project), California, to be developed into a 127 unit affordable rental housing project. Construction is expected to commence in 2024.
• MAAC Ascencia MGP, LLC - Land held in Escondido (the Ascencia Project), California, to be developed into a 180 unit affordable rental housing project. Construction is expected to commence in 2023.

My first clue that The San Diego Regional Task Force on Homelessness was a questionable operation was when they put a failed Democrat candidate from our district on their staff as communications director.

A brave person came forward recently and explained that most things are hiding in plain sight... so I took a look at This Homeless "nonprofit" which is a shadowy player of the homeless grift in San Diego.

As part of my profession, I look at Tax Returns so I decided to pop the hood and see if anything stood out... Oh boy!

@DOGE I encourage you to make your own conclusions. San Diego is more corrupt than Chicago but the weather is better. This is Part 4a of Statement of Program Service Accomplishments

"Regional Task Force on the Homeless, Inc. (RTFH) dba Regional Task Force on Homelessness (as of July 2021) was incorporated on June 17, 2004 as a non-profit public benefit corporation.
