NEW TONIGHT: Two years after a KPRC 2 Investigation uncovered millions in questionable spending at the Houston Housing Authority, former CEO David Northern is now running another public housing agency in Flint, Michigan.
Houston Mayor John Whitmire says Northern was “not fit for that job” based on his Houston record.
Federal investigators examined records tied to the case — but agencies still refuse to say publicly whether the investigation is ongoing.
Our investigation uncovered:
▪️ Millions in questionable spending
▪️ Luxury dining and travel expenses
▪️ A failed AC project that created fire hazards
▪️ Housing money spent while families waited for assistance
▪️ Six-figure payouts after resignations
Meanwhile, Housing Alliance HTX says reforms are now in place and spending has dropped significantly.

I absolutely love meeting and supporting people and organizations that make Houston families better, stronger and empowered.
I got to emcee RaiseUp Families graduation luncheon today… where we celebrated more than 2 dozen women who completed 9 months of financial programs & mentoring to give their families a direct path financial freedom. The women have paid off debt, started new jobs with better pay… and many are earning degrees and saving for the future.
Houstonians supporting Houstonians. And executive director Kate Yadan couldn’t be happier! 😄
