Washington -- Auditors in a limited study of stimulus spending found a majority of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grants went to questionable agencies.
In a survey of at least 22 programs in 15 states and Puerto Rico, auditors said only six were likely to handle the stimulus funding they received effectively, USA Today reported Wednesday.
The programs found to be problematic were scheduled to receive $220 million in stimulus finds, the newspaper said.
In response, HUD spokeswoman Andrea Mead said the department was monitoring the situation and keeping a close watch on the most troubling agencies.
