HUNTINGTON -- A former Huntington Housing Authority employee was indicted earlier this week on charges alleging she embezzled more than $20,000 from the agency in one year.

Patricia Howard, 54, was charged with embezzlement from an organization receiving federal benefits during a federal grand jury hearing on Aug. 27, U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said in a press release Friday.

Howard is a former administrator for HHA's Shelter Plus Care Program, which provided a variety of housing services to disabled and homeless people. The program was funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
