Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) appears with Rev. Andy Bales, CEO of the Union Rescue Mission in a Full Disclosure Network® video report on the dire circumstances of Federal funded emergency shelter programs. In this short video preview (2:30 min) Arnold and Bales reveal that funding from FEMA, the Federal Emergency and disaster services agency, has "dried up" to the point that the agency is over six months in arrears in payments to providers. FEMA's failure to pay homeless emergency shelter providers, such as the 120 year old Union Rescue Mission, has created a serious financial bind, causing the organization to withdraw from the FEMA winter emergency shelter programs entirely.
