Scheme to Sell Fraudulent Section 8 Vouchers Exposed: Police Arrest Three Suspects

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Aug. 29, 2008

Los Angeles -- This morning, Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Rampart Division detectives arrested three people for operating a confidence scheme to sell fraudulent Section 8 housing vouchers. The arrests were part of a joint operation involving LAPD and the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA).

The scam, which was advertised on the Internet at the Craigslist website, promised Section 8 vouchers to renters in exchange for a cash payment of $2,500. Victims were instructed to call a phone number and were then interviewed by someone posing as a HACLA official. Later, if the victim agreed, the “official” would arrange a meeting that was often staged at or near a HACLA facility.

During the meeting, the suspect(s) would show the victim an authentic-looking HACLA identification card and provide a document resembling a Section 8 receipt or voucher in exchange for $2,500. After the transaction, the suspect would vanish and change the listed telephone number. If the victim couldn’t provide the entire $2,500 in one payment, the scheme would continue until all partial payments were made, after which the phone number would be disconnected.

Potential victims may have been quite vulnerable to the scheme because genuine Section 8 vouchers are very much in demand and valuable, enabling those with low-incomes to rent housing for rates far below current market levels.

To date, at least five of these crimes are known to have been committed, with one of the five occurring in Inglewood. Detectives believe the suspects could be responsible for many more similar crimes because their scheme was advertised on the Internet. Anyone who believes he/she has been a victim or has information about other potential victims, is asked to call LAPD Rampart Detective Division at 213-484-3450. After hours and on weekends, calls may be directed to a 24-hour, toll-free number at 1-877-LAW-FULL (529-3855).

Council to Vote on Gang Prevention Contracts

Debru Petrov - noemail@hacla.org — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 15:30:00 GMT

Aug. 15, 2008 -- Six organizations that work to keep youths in high- crime areas out of gangs are expected to receive one-year contracts today as part of the reorganization of the city's anti-gang programs.

The recommendations for the one-year $500,000 contracts for each organization will be considered by the Los Angeles City Council. The contractors were selected by panels made up of law enforcement officers, gang experts and community members.

The recommended contractors are:

Community Build in the Baldwin Village area;
Childrens Hospital Los Angeles in Cypress Park;
Los Angeles Metropolitan Churches in the Florence-Graham area;
People Coordinated Services in the Newton area;
El Nido Family Centers in Pacoima; and
Violence Intervention Program in Ramona Gardens.

Community Build and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles were previously awarded contracts through L.A. Bridges, the anti-gang city initiative that will end at the end of the year. On July 1, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa assumed control of the city's anti-gang strategy.

City officials plan to award six additional contracts for prevention services and 12 contracts for intervention work later this fall.

The goals of the one-year programs are to prevent children ages 10 to 15 from joining gangs, and reducing the level of association with gang members.

Each program must work with at least 100 youths who are most at risk of joining a gang.

Providers are required to have a minimum of three face-to-face meetings with the children every week and at least one monthly visit with the parents.

The six risk factors that increase a child's chances of joining a gang are a lack of parental supervision; early childhood aggression; delinquent beliefs, including acceptance of antisocial behaviors; negative life events; having peers involved in deviant behavior; and a commitment to street-oriented peers.

Racial harmony on display at Watts basketball tournament

John L. Mitchell - noemail@hacla.org — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:00:00 GMT

July 17, 2008

The gym in the Nickerson Gardens housing project can be an unfriendly place for anyone who dares to enter without a tough, competitive game of basketball.

Just ask the Latino players from East Wilmington who, in May, for the first time, drove 15 miles to Watts to join the project's Moonlight basketball league. When they walked on the court, they were greeted with a chorus of taunts, and someone in the crowd issued a blunt warning: "You better not bring any weak stuff in here!"

The 12 young men didn't flinch; they knew they would have to prove themselves if they wanted respect in a tournament dominated by African Americans.

They were shorter than the players on the other top teams, and not quite as fast. Still, they were every bit as tenacious, and at times a little cocky. They had grown up together, were confident in one another's games and knew that when all else failed, they could rely on their star player: Joey Saavedra, a 24-year-old sharpshooter and former Banning High School superstar who dropped out of sight four years ago after being convicted of attempted armed robbery.

Joey was back and ready to make a difference.

With the 6-footer leading the way, East Wilmington, one of four Latino teams participating in the 12-team tournament, began winning games and gaining the respect of the players and admiration of the fans.

"This is good for the community," said Donny Joubert, who runs the Moonlight league, an offshoot of midnight basketball programs established in the early '90s to reduce gang violence. "This is not just an African American gym."

From the first tip-off of the tournament, all eyes were on Saavedra.

"He is a one-man show," said Coach Manuel Panduro. "But he also makes everybody else on his team play better."

Those in the stands noted Saavedra's cross-over dribble, his moves and his shooting accuracy.

"He plays with a lot of soul," said Hank Henderson, a recreation assistant at Nickerson Gardens. "Joey is gifted. He can shake and bake, drop back and hit a three-pointer or make a move like Michael Jordan."

In one dramatic finish, Saavedra knocked a ball out of the hands of an opposing player, ran down the court to catch a pass and laid the ball in the basket as the buzzer went off ending the game.

The stands emptied and a celebration broke out on the court. But then the referees denied the basket, declaring that the shot came too late, just after the buzzer. Saavedra's team won in overtime.

It was that way at Banning High, where the young player rose to fame, averaging just under 32 points a game. Once, after a 44-point burst, including 10 three-pointers, an opposing coach compared Saavedra's offensive talents to Inglewood High School graduate Paul Pierce, who, as a professional this year, led the Boston Celtics to the NBA championship.

Sam Turks, a 32-year-old point guard on the Compton squad who played high school ball with Pierce, agreed. He said he was aware of Saavedra's reputation by the time he had to cover him.

"I was told he could shoot and not to leave him open," Turks said. "They didn't tell me that I could have two hands in his face and he could still knock it down."

At Los Angeles Harbor College, Coach Tony Carter-Loza had high expectations for Saavedra when he started playing for the team in 2003. The Seahawks were off to a better start than in previous seasons, but then Carter-Loza received a call during the winter break. Saavedra had been arrested in a car with two other men and charged with attempted robbery.

"He doesn't seem to want to leave the guys he grew up with," Carter-Loza said. "There's nothing wrong with that. But as time goes on everyone, sooner or later, moves in different directions."

Saavedra sees that chapter in his life as a big mistake. "It was a dumb thing to do," he said. "We didn't need the money."

At the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, where he finished his 18-month sentence, Saavedra recalls serving his time in a holding cell. "There was nothing to do," he recalled. "I keep it in my past. There was time to wash clothes, take baths and try to keep busy. It was all a sign from God. It opened my eyes."

In August 2005, to celebrate his release from prison -- and to keep him closer to home -- Saavedra's family paved over the backyard and built a basketball court. He returned to the sport he loved.

At Nickerson Gardens, Joubert said he has heard similar stories.

"We have a lot of kids who get caught up in the life," he said. "The goal is to get them back on track, go to work, go back to school and do something positive in their lives."

East Wilmington wasn't an obvious entry in the Nickerson Gardens tournament. Some of the players were reluctant to face teams that bore some familiar names: the Compton All-Stars, Fremont, Imperial Courts, Nickerson Gardens.

"Are you serious?" Freddie Lopez, East Wilmington's 6-foot-3 center, asked his coach. "We're not going to play in Nickerson Gardens. That's in the middle of Watts."

But Joubert said the tournament established a "safe zone" around the recreation center, bringing in community members as a private security team -- the same force recently enlisted to provide help at the 109th Street Pool, which was shut down one Sunday last month after a band of young men took it over.

In addition, Joubert arranged to have an L.A. Police Department patrol car stationed outside the center.

After a few games, Joubert received a call from one of the coaches of the Latino teams.

"They felt so comfortable with the tournament that they wanted to know if it was OK to bring their families to the games," he recalled. "I said, 'Sure, bring them!' Then, suddenly, the mothers and the little kids were here."

Saavedra said the tournament helped his self-confidence.

"You have a lot of guys who say, 'If you can play here, you can play anywhere,' " Saavedra said. "To hear that can only make me better. I want to play against the best. I'm 24. I don't want to look back at my life and have any regrets. I want to say at least I gave it a shot."

The East Wilmington players made it to the semifinals but failed to make it to the finals of the tournament. They were beaten by Compton, which lost to Fremont.

But the men from East Wilmington made their mark. At tonight's awards banquet at the Nickerson Gardens recreation center they will all be recognized.

And Joey Saavedra will get the award for Most Valuable Player.

Volunteers Help Build a Library at Ramona Gardens Public Housing Community

noemail@hacla.org — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 20:00:00 GMT

Over 70 volunteers were on hand at Ramona Gardens on Sat. March 3 to help put together an onsite library for the community. UCLA's Volunteer Center picked this project as part of its One Bus, One Cause initiative. Fifty students and staff from the University boarded a bus at UCLA and arrived at the East Los Angeles community ready to roll up their sleeves and build an environment that can help instill the love of reading for youth at Ramona Gardens. Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department Community Safety Partnership (CSP) program also helped out along with HACLA Staff including Commissioner Dennis Hernandez and Chief Operating Officer Ken Simmons. The President of the Resident Management Corporation delivered a thank you message to all the volunteers. The volunteers painted two rooms in the library and helped sort more than 3,000 books in appropriate categories. The LAPL has committed to implementing an early literacy program for Toddlers at the new facility. A...

A Historical Mural is Restored at Estrada Courts Public Housing

noemail@hacla.org — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 23:00:00 GMT

Ana Fe Santa Ana, Contributor
Estrada Courts Property Manager

A mural dedication ceremony at Estrada Courts public housing in East Los Angeles highlighted the importance of restoring these historical art pieces. Ernesto de la Loza's mural, Organic Stimulus was originally painted in 1975.

“It's important that we preserve the murals at Estrada Courts, not only for historical reasons, but also for the beauty they provide to Estrada Courts. Estrada Courts is considered "the site of the 1970's birth of the Chicano Mural Art Movement," said Isabel Rojas-Williams, Executive Director of Mural Conservancy of Los Angeles (MCLA).

“Before it [Organic Stimulus] was restored it was pale in color and almost disappearing with graffiti on its face,” said Ana Fe Santa Ana, Estrada Courts property manager. “Now the vibrant colors are back. In September of 2011, Isabel was hoping that she would get funds to have this mural restored.”

The MCLA secured grant funds from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs for this project. The restoration began on January 2, 2012 and completed February 29, 2012.

The Authority and MCLA are working together to restore other similar murals in East Los Angeles.

Shields for Families Launch at Jordan Downs

noemail@hacla.org — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 22:00:00 GMT

The Shields for Families kickoff event on Saturday, March 24, 2012 was a huge success! The weather was favorable, the entertainment was enjoyable and families of Jordan Downs came out and had a great time. Children participated in coloring, face painting and other fun activities, while the adults received valuable information about the various social services offered at the Jordan Downs Community Center.

The purpose of the kickoff event was to announce Shields for Families as the on-site partner offering programs and services to the residents of Jordan Downs. Many of the partnering agencies that work with Shields for Families displayed information about their services at the vendor tables. Residents were offered the opportunity to “sign-up” for an appointment with the Shields for Families staff in an effort to schedule an initial intake and assessment.

As part of the Jordan Downs Redevelopment Family First Plan, the goal is to conduct family household needs assessments and tailor a family action plan with the support of a family coach to assist families in reaching their goals.

REMO Donates Drumheads to Imperial Courts Drill Team

noemail@hacla.org — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 23:00:00 GMT

During the March Board of Commissioners meeting, Christopher Hart, Marketing and Promotions Manager of Remo Inc., was honored for the donation of 49 drumheads to the Imperial Courts Drill Team. HACLA presented Mr. Hart with a certificate of appreciation for his generous donation. His kindness and desire to help HACLA went above and beyond his duties.

At HACLA Housing Services Director Sanford Riggs’ request, HACLA grant writer Anthony Maddela contacted Mr. Hart at his Valencia office in late 2011. Enclosed with the letter to Mr. Hart was a DVD recording of the Imperial Courts Drill Team performing with tattered drums at the opening of their food bank last summer. Their drumsticks fumbled to avoid striking gaping holes and irreparable tears in the skins from 10 years of constant use, but the 40 drill team members, ages 5 to 21, made do without foreseeable prospects of ever raising the $2,000 required to replace the damaged drumheads.

The generosity of Remo Inc. moved Drill Team leaders to tears at the Board meeting. They brought some of the Drill Team youngsters to the Board meeting to personally thank Mr. Hart for his company’s donation, and everyone was astonished to discover that their benefactor grew up in their neighborhood. Indeed, it’s a small world but also a wonderful world thanks to the compassion of firms such as Remo Inc.

Housing Authority Opens a Library for Low-Income Youth

noemail@hacla.org — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 23:00:00 GMT

A new library at Ramona Gardens public housing community serves as a platform to launch the Housing Authority's new Education Initiative. After learning that youth from the community hesitated using the neighborhood public library out of fear of gang activity, HACLA felt a need to take action.

Thanks to all of the organizations who stepped up to help, we have fulfilled our mission of creating an environment where our children can fall in love with books and explore and experience a new world through the love of reading! The ribbon cutting ceremony for the library was attended by HACLA Commissioners, LAPD, UCLA Community and Government Relations, Los Angeles Public Library, Councilman Jose Huizar's office, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal Allard's office as well as other community partners.
