Findings

5 findings.

Every finding is verified to the documents in its own row. An inference is labelled as one.

Red with the marker: a certified figure the books contradict.

01

The FY2026 report's update for Short term residential treatment #2 (p8) certifies 137,205.00 expended between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 and 72 participants served.

The same page marks the program ended and states that the project has ended and there were zero expenditures in the reporting period. The FY2025 report (p7) named CURA as the program's only funding recipient, with 20,561.52 in total funding, none of it spent, and 3 clients expected a year. The certified figure is more than six times that funding. The County's Payments sheet for Grants Fund account 1200000000-538000 shows no payment to CURA. It shows six payments to AtlantiCare Health System, a provider the report never names for this program: 387.00 and 1,976.00 on 07/31/2025, 3,942.00 and 1,768.00 on 11/13/2025, and 99,216.00 and 29,916.00 on 03/05/2026. They sum to 137,205.00, the certified figure. The payment lines carry no description, and no order, contract or invoice for them was produced. The page cannot be true both ways. Either the program spent nothing, or 137,205.00 went to a provider other than the one the County reported.

The FY2025 report certifies 359,753.70 expended between 07/01/2024 and 06/30/2025 (p1).

The County's Payments sheet for Grants Fund account 1200000000-538000 shows 16 payment lines in that window. AtlantiCare was paid 205,486.08 for the Bridge Clinic in four payments from 07/18/2024 to 04/03/2025. Angels in Motion was paid 138,437.61 for case management in four payments from 03/06/2025 to 06/12/2025. John Brooks Recovery Center was paid 11,884.50 on 05/08/2025 and Maryville 2,130.80 on 05/15/2025. Dell Marketing was paid 1,814.71 on 05/22/2025 for the laptop, monitor and accessories the report lists as its administrative expense. The lines sum to 359,753.70. Each program figure in the report also equals the payments to its provider.

The FY2026 report updates Adult Residential Services at 19,953.05, Family Empowerment at 87,205.30 and Harm Reduction vending machines at 88,721.96 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (pp7 and 9).

Six Maryville payments from 11/13/2025 to 04/23/2026, four Family Empowerment payments from 07/31/2025 to 05/07/2026 and four South Jersey AIDS Alliance payments from 08/14/2025 to 05/07/2026 make the three figures to the cent, 195,880.31 in all. Detox and intensive outpatient, 45,976.00, equals two New Hope Integrated payments on an order for opioid treatment services, though the FY2025 report named AtlantiCare FQHC as that program's provider. The report's total, 905,874.13, is 137,532.51 above the 768,341.62 the produced books show through the last payment of 05/07/2026. The difference sits on the Angels in Motion and John Brooks lines, in weeks the production does not cover.

The FY2024 report certifies 71,002.90 expended between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024, with 5,000.00 of it administrative (p1).

Its program updates list the payments by date and amount (p3). The account shows five entries in that window. AtlantiCare was paid 40,476.08 on 03/27/2024 and 16,525.84 on 04/11/2024 for the Bridge Clinic. Journals of 12/02/2023 and 02/10/2024 charged 4,175.80 and 4,825.18 for Rides for Recovery, the Hope1 transportation program. A journal of 08/23/2023 charged the 5,000.00 administrative payment. The five entries sum to 71,002.90. That journal cites a document number other than the 5,000.00 payment of 03/30/2023, so the record does not show which payment it moves.
