D.C. Council member Mary M. Cheh (D-Ward 3) is known for her keen interest in identifying fraudulent activity in city government. This week, Cheh sent a letter to D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine asking him to consider conducting an investigation into the contract. TCP runs the city’s homeless programs under a long-standing multimillion-dollar contract with the D.C. Department of Human Services. In her letter, Cheh asserted that until last year, a local nonprofit, D.C. Central Kitchen, has provided food services to 10 shelters overseen by TCP. D.C. Central Kitchen, she said, had provided more than a million meals in a year for about $2 million.
