news-daily.com: "Nonprofit reported to inspector general
By Greg Gelpi
An incident report about a local nonprofit's handling of grant money has been forwarded to the U.S. Department of Labor Office of the Inspector General for investigation.
The Atlanta Regional Commission filed the incident report after learning that the Youth Empowerment Project Inc. diverted grant funds meant for job training to pay for its daily operations, said Mary Margaret Garrett, the chief of Workforce Development for the commission.
The Atlanta Regional Commission awarded the grant to Youth Empowerment, Garrett said. Grant recipients must sign contracts specifying how the grant money will be used. It's not common, but if 'suspicious' activity is found, it is procedure that an incident report is filed with the inspector general's office."
