E. Shelters in King County
17
Through investigation it was determined that the ACORN Tacoma office
18 employees used addresses of four shelters in Seattle on a large amount of the
fraudulent Cards submitted.
19
The shelters were contacted and when possible a list of names taken from the
20 Cards submitted by ACORN was provided. The shelter would then compare the
names on the ACORN list against its own database of registered shelter users.
21 If the shelter found a name on the ACORN list that matched a name on their
database, the shelter employee would put the date of birth from the shelter
22 list on the ACORN list.
23 KCPAO compared the shelter possible matches against the ACORN list and did
not, to date, find any matches.
