Shut this program down and make them pay back all the money they have received!

That program needs to shut down effectively.

I'm glad you're doing this work your showing that these people are criminals this is fraud

800 million can build or buy alot of homes.

Thank you for covering this!

They all should be hold accountable that's is so wrong.Thank you David for caring leave it at places that help the people. No excuses!!

Sounds like another jobs program for people who need an easy job that pays well for no work done.

this is so sad these people should be fired and arrested for throwing that food away that's ment for the homeless

Seems like the employees don't like there jobs. They need to be fired. Maybe then they might need the food that's being thrown away. Fired these tyrants.

I don't even live on the West Coast but this makes me highly angry. And yes please fire the whole staff and make them pay that money back. Mandatory Community Service sounds perfect for these non humans .. Make them actually feed the homeless something they hate!

Every employee who threw any food in the dumpster deserves to be fired.

Goldstein is simply GOLD.

Now just imagine this is probably happening in so many different state depts employees acting badly. Waste fraud embezzlement god knows what else?

The average LAHSA salary ranges from approximately $65,935 per year for a Data Analyst to $96,082 per year for a Manager. L.A. tax payers money going down the drain and it's making the homeless situation worse.

So obviously there is no supervision of these workers. Most jobs have some kind of oversight to make sure that workers who are independent in the field are doing what they are paid to do. When I worked the Census, we had to check in frequently with supervisors, and our leaders could show up and join us in the field at any time to see where we were with our work. You can't just turn people loose and hope that they are choosing to do a task that they can easily choose not to do if they get paid the same either way.

Outreach needs accountability. Heidi was advocating for more pay for them to just drive around! Other departments have to have outcomes but outreach just gets to do what they want because they are out in the field. They just run the clock out and have no results. Waste of tax payer money. The people that want shelter know where to go. What they need to do is put a homeless case worker at every dpss office so the resources are completely accessible. Everyone knows how to apply for benefits so they can apply for homeless services at the same office.

This is just the tip of the iceberg

Cuz there lazy a.f and pocketing the cash and doing way less than the minimum

If their paying these staff employees to do NOTHING!! It makes me Wonder what Management is being paid to do!! Certainly not to Supervise their employees!! This is a Disgrace!!

All of them... top to bottom need jail time and repay the salaries they did not earn!!

They should be required to pay for the food charge with theft of government property. They threw boxes of in the trash passing by homeless camps driving around to different places to accumulate milage. This is a disgrace when people there's people in need of food.

Great report. God bless you.

The employees of and lhasa (?) are criminals. From the top to the lowliest employee. This is so disgusting and despicable. What they are doing with the food but what they aren't doing with and for the homeless. All of them should have to pay back every penny they stole by NOT working but also pay for the waste of all that food! Pathetic!

This should be a bigger story! Thank you. We need to hold these taxpayer funded "non profits" accountable. So much waste.

Outreach workers in Canada make $80K-$100K/year. How much are these outreach workers making?

This is a disgrace, sinful waste!. Rather than speak to the homeless they would rather DUMP the food! Shame!!

It's very apparent none of them has missed a meal😊

This makes me upset because not only are food and drinks and boxes being wasted by being thrown in the trash but people that may need some of the services offered are only being left out as trash. Thanks, David for doing this story!

I'm from Colorado I see the Los Angeles news you're making those people suffer and it's not okay make these people accountable don't let it go away they're homeless on the streets there it's terrible

I hope all this workers got fired..this makes me so angry..I could use some of that food for my kids.

I use to work at the grocery stores in the Deli. All the food that didn't sale in the hot section at night like chicken that we made that night went in the trash. This was 30 years ago. I use to ask can we have it or homeless they said no. So much food tossed. In the trash it went.

Look at them in their nice cars riding around in air conditioning and these people on the street burning up and starving wow greedy world

As a human being it blows my mind how any person could cruelly do that to another less fortunate struggling person!!

Why wouldn't they want to know that their workers are not doing their job?

The way they throw those boxes 😂

The supervisors need supervising!

Of course they I've been to a homeless shelter where weekly they would have raffles for the staff with money rather was meant for us..

Great job with the investigation. On a side note: Did she call him “Goldy” at the end? Lol

They're putting the food in the garbage can because after they get off work they come back and steal the food out of the garbage can. They do that all the time at homeless shelters I watch them still food from people when I was in a shelter before

❤❤I remember the shop outside. I wore my jacket and shirts in Midwest. They asked why, I would say Los Angeles is multi cultured of Japanese and Mexicano. Guys, my Tank tops are fading, Need new ones.. OK. Let me know. People always ask me after I go surfing where did you get the Jappangless Tank top…. 😅

I was told if they gave the food than people would get sick and they would be responsible. The grocery stores and they just didn't want to give it to the homeless because they said it would enable them.

I want to know the end game of what's making these people accountable don't go back around in the circle what's your in-game as your investigation

Mr. Goldstein is the best................ make those people don't eat for a week and see how they feel.

I love this series. Trye reporting not only reading a teleprompter of what they’re tolfn

What do they do when the bums reject the services? This program doesn't do jack and all these employees know it. They're not allowed to say the truth.

They should not be throwing out the food but I wonder if they don’t bother because they encounter the same homeless people in the same area everyday who don’t take the food and do not accept any other help or services. But with taxpayer funded money; they need to get creative to get people to accept the help that they need or be honest and say that what they’re doing is not helping and is a waste of taxpayer money

oh no .. 👎 really bad bad bad ppl 💔😭😠

I’d rather have my taxes go to feeding less fortunates rather than weapons and war.

Investigate universal studios see how much waste they throw out from their “amusement” park

They suppose to do what they hired & paid to do!!

Tax payer money being wasted.

True so true ! Why waste this food someone would eat it so wasteful these people know how to beat the system they are all very lazy it's only a handful of honest people ! They ought to break up this agency ! Good job David !

That's the problem you have to deal with. People doing wrong and still being so arrogant and not showing any remorse. That's criminal and inhuman. You were employed to do precisely the opposite. That must be prosexhtable. And look how healthy they look.

U.S. GOV'T SHOULD STOP FUNDING TO LAHSA AGENCY ! SUE LAHSA FOR SURE THERE IS A CONTRACT AND AGREEMENT WITH THE GOV'T !

i mean they're getting paid to drive around and do absolutely nothing because they're just throwing it away... Ive dealt with outreach workers myself and let me tell you... mostly useless. a few good one but 80%-90% useless got the job because they know a person type people.

800 MILLION at least 400 LITERALLY THROWN AWAY

LA family Housing doing the same thing believe it or not .

Is anyone really that surprised?

🤔....Class Action, 800 Million divided by claimants 🤷‍♂️

It's so typical of the media these days to throw the little guys under the bus. Who created these wasteful programs? Who voted for this?

Shut down the program

Why not just give the people their dignity back. Temporary housing 😂🤣👍 Bottled up in a homeles shelter Good job 👍 Don't create jobs! Don't lower housing! Don't even try to make things affordable so people can actually live and survive! What a joke!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👎

👍👍👍

This is why I never have and never will give to charities

If it’s months investigation then why the same 10 seconds of footage is all they had of food being thrown away?

War and famine is a choice.

I foresee cuz these people look very well fed that in their future they'll be the beggars, and people will remember their faces, and they will be told to pound sand 😄

DISGRACEFUL

The woman is upset that LAHSA doesn’t try harder. Stop looking down from your high and mighty perch. Goldstein is so vague.
