The Harris County Housing Authority could be forced to pay back millions of dollars to the federal government following an audit by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The regional inspector general for HUD concluded the county housing authority had mismanaged up to $27.5 million in federal funds and ignored a $3.8 million debt. It recommended policy changes, administrative actions against individuals at fault and for the county to reimburse much, if not all, of the funds spent questionably.
