A Vaughan pastor is among 15 people facing charges in connection with an alleged organized fraud scheme targeting a program that provides assistance to individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
York Regional Police say that the group was behind an “organized and coordinated” effort to submit fraudulent claims to York Region’s Homeless Prevention Program.
Investigators say that a review of claims between January and December of 2024 identified $99,600 in fraudulent claims connected to the suspects.
