Status matters. This page records a sourced development, not a completed No Halo investigation. An allegation is not a finding. Dismissals, settlements, judgments, corrections and final outcomes remain distinct.
Donor relevance
Why this matters
The report indicates that donor-funded disaster work extended beyond emergency shelter into long-term rebuilding and preparedness. That continuing commitment is relevant to donors evaluating whether the organization remains engaged after public attention moves elsewhere.
