"A Times investigation in 2012 found that Brown started a nonprofit that won a $29 million federal contract to provide housing, jobs and drug rehabilitation services to people leaving prison, but few of those services were actually delivered. An audit by the state comptroller concluded that he had 'a disturbing pattern of ethical violations.' Brown changed the name of his nonprofit, and city officials, apparently unaware of some of Brown’s history, gave CORE contracts to run homeless shelters."
