Poor Management Has Reduced the Effectiveness of Tulsa Human Services Agency Programs

Pursuant to a Congressman's request, GAO reviewed the administration of the Tulsa Human Services Agency, the community action agency for Tulsa County, Oklahoma. The Tulsa Agency is a nonprofit community action agency which was established to help eliminate poverty in Tulsa County. The Agency operates several antipoverty programs which are more than 95 percent federally funded. Several Federal, State, and local organizations are responsible for funding the programs and monitoring their implementation. The weatherization program was funded in 1978 and 1979 by the Community Services Administration (CSA) and the Department of Energy.
