King County review reportedly identified about $261,000 in potential duplicate billing by Urban Family
KIRO 7 reported that a King County financial review identified nearly $261,000 in potentially duplicative salary and rent charges involving Urban Family’s publicly funded gun-violence-prevention work. The reporting also cited a possible conflict of interest, incomplete documentation and transfers to unidentified accounts. King County suspended the nonprofit’s Regional Peacekeepers Collective contract effective October 5 and halted several invoice payments while requiring further audit cooperation. The reported concerns are not criminal findings.
