Raking in $5.4B from taxpayers

- Greg B. Smith

SINCE 2008, THE city has awarded $5.4 billion in contracts to nonprofit groups to run homeless shelters, the equivalent of writing a $633 check for every man, woman and child in the city. More than half of that — $3.1 billion — has been spent since Mayor de Blasio arrived at City Hall.

Here are the some of the major recipients of these taxpayer dollars:

Acacia Network Housing: Contracts worth about $521.6 million since April 2016, including $442 million without competitiv­e bidding. The most recent tax forms show seven executives with six-figure salaries.

Samaritan Village: Contracts worth $308 million since July 2016, including $23.8 million via noncompeti­tive “emergency” contracts. The most recent tax forms show 11 executives with six-figure salaries.

SCO Family of Services: Contracts totaling $262.6 million since 2004, including $9.8 million in noncompeti­tive “emergency” contracts. The most recent tax forms show nine executives with six-figure salaries.

Camba Housing Ventures: Contracts total $492.9 million since 2004, including $2.1 million in noncompeti­tive “emergency” contracts. The most recent tax forms show three executives with six-figure salaries, including President Joanne Oplustil with a $612,106 paycheck.
