1	HOUSE RESOLUTION 1146
2	WHEREAS, The Department of Human Services provides funds to
3	private organizations and facilities, including Pilsen-Little
4	Village Community Mental Health Center, Inc., located at 2319
5	South Damen in Chicago, to provide mental health services to
6	Illinois residents; and
7	WHEREAS, Pilsen-Little Village Community Mental Health
8	Center, Inc., was the subject of an audit by the Auditor
9	General in 1998-1999 to determine whether State funds received
10	by the Center had been spent according to applicable State
11	laws, regulations, contracts, and grants; and
12	WHEREAS, The 1998-1999 audit identified findings that
13	ranged from a lack of supporting documentation, to
14	non-compliance, to unauthorized use of grant funds; the
15	pervasiveness of problems raised the possibility that there
16	might be additional areas of non-compliance; and
17	WHEREAS, Based on current complaints, the Center may be
18	engaging in conduct or practices similar to those that led to
19	the prior audit; therefore, be it
20	RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
21	NINETY-FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
22	the Auditor General is directed to conduct an audit of
23	Pilsen-Little Village Community Mental Health Center, Inc., to
24	determine whether funds received by the Center have been spent
25	according to applicable State laws, regulations, contracts,
26	and grants; and be it further
27	RESOLVED, That the Auditor General is specifically
28	authorized to review and publicly report on any books, records,
