Opinion: D.C.’s feed-the-homeless contract controversy may really be about food, not fraud
By Colbert I. King Colbert I. King Columnist covering D.C. issues and politics Email Bio Follow May 3 at 3:53 PM Last month I wrote about the controversy over how contracts were awarded to provide food services to D.C. homeless shelters — including accusations that the District might have been defrauded. Since then, I’ve received new information and allegations regarding the quality and delivery of food that contractors have provided and are now providing to the homeless.D.C.
Cheh also alluded to Henry’s registration as a Certified Business Enterprise — a designation that gives preference in government contracts to local businesses. She said facts surrounding Henry’s registered address “raise concerns.” An attorney for Henry’s Soul Food, A. Scott Bolden, challenged Cheh’s complaints in a letter to Racine. “It is disconcerting that a veteran Councilmember would call for an investigation based on . . . incomplete facts, inaccuracies and hypothesized accounting,” he wrote, and said that TCP could “reasonably” decide to “pay more for better service.”
Zeilinger, in an email responding to my request for comment on Cheh’s bill, said, “Improving the quality of food in shelters has been a major focus . . . of DHS and the provider community over the past few years,” citing “poor food quality and/or missed deliveries” as being “particularly disturbing.”
