Union founded nonprofit spent zero on its charitable purpose

A scandal-ridden Los Angeles chapter of the Service Employees International Union founded a charity called, Long Term Care Housing Corp.

Tyrone Freeman (pictured), then head of the SEIU’s largest California local, helped start the Long Term Care Housing Corp. in 2004. He is under investigation by the federal government.

The stated aim of the nonprofit was to provide housing to low-income workers.

The charity had total expenses of about $165,000 for 2005 and 2006, and all of the money went to consulting fees, insurance costs and other overhead, according to its Internal Revenue Service filings.

Nothing went to the charitable purpose of the nonprofit.
