FLAGS & CONCERNS (2)
COMBINED DHS/DSS REVENUE $58M+ — MULTI-CONTRACT CONCENTRATION

HELP USA holds both traditional DHS shelter contracts and DSS emergency migrant hotel contracts simultaneously. The combined revenue concentration reduces competitive oversight.

OVERLAPPING PROGRAM REVENUE — SHELTER + HOUSING + WORKFORCE

HELP USA receives DHS, DSS, and HUD funding for related but distinct programs, creating complex interagency financial relationships that are difficult to audit holistically.
