An audit of Honolulu’s homeless assistance program, CORE, is halted because the program’s operations are too disorganized for auditors to complete an assessment, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The audit is described as being interrupted after auditors encounter frequent changes within the program and data systems that they characterize as unreliable. Because the documentation and information needed to evaluate whether CORE is functioning effectively are not consistent, auditors say they cannot adequately measure performance or outcomes. The reporting indicates that the issues are not limited to recordkeeping problems alone, but also include instability in how the program is run over time. As a result, the auditor does not proceed with a full evaluation and instead stops the effort while the underlying administrative and data challenges remain unresolved. The outlets agree that the core obstacle is the combination of constant program adjustments and data quality problems, which prevent auditors from forming a dependable basis for conclusions. The reports do not provide details of any final findings beyond the decision to halt the audit.
