Detroit's poor pay for city office furniture

[DrLeftover]

A Detroit nonprofit that received a no-bid, $1.2-million contract from the city to provide services to low-income people misspent $200,000 on furniture that ended up in city offices, the Free Press has learned.



The Human Services Department issued the contract last year to Clark & Associates exclusively to pay its employees to assist with the city's food and clothing assistance programs.



But records obtained by the Free Press show the nonprofit spent $210,344 of the contract on furniture that is now at the Human Services Department's office at 5031 Grandy.
