MassHousing Grants Under Fire | Boston News

MassHousing is under fire again after discovering hundreds of thousands in grants were awarded for fire sprinkler systems that were never installed—this time at nine sober homes run by Hunter Foote. Seven sites showed no work done, despite paid invoices allegedly forged using the installer’s letterhead and signature. The installer, Steven DeLiberto, says he’s just a plumber—not a wordsmith—and is furious about the fraud. MassHousing is demanding over $430K back, with no repayment yet. This echoes a prior Globe exposé involving fake invoices in another grant program, both overseen by the same now-resigned MassHousing official. The attorney general’s office is now investigating both cases, while MassHousing vows to reform its oversight. Foote denies wrongdoing, insisting all work was completed and he personally funded much of it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
