Title: Hearing to consider the Tenderloin Housing Clinic's use of city funds for lobbying purposes. The hearing will explore the propriety of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic's large lobbying budget and whether it is appropriate to spend government grant money and contract payments meant to serve the poor on lobbying expenses. Specifically the hearing will examine why, according to the most recent available IRS filings, the Tenderloin Housing Clinic spent $1.5 million out of their budget last year for lobbying purposes and $3.5 million on lobbying efforts during the last four years. Finally, the hearing will also examine THC's contracts with the Department of Human Services and other city departments to ascertain whether city funds are being improperly spent.
