    A 2019 audit found that the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities was not regularly checking shelters against the Sex Offender Registry Board, and concluded that the agency had failed to alert families to the presence of sex offenders. Now, they say they check every six months.

      In healthcare, we have to check our staff monthly to make sure they haven’t committed Medicare/Medicaid fraud. Just sayin.

        How do you do that? I’ve worked in healthcare for years and don’t think we ever did this

          Your administration should be checking federal and state exclusion lists. HR might do it or they might contract out. Databases are public, you can literally just look at the federal one on your own if you want: https://exclusions.oig.hhs.gov/

            The difference being CMS has the power to create and implement federal regulations, I suppose. There isn’t any equivalent federal regulation around homeless shelters, as far as I’m aware.

              Maybe I misunderstood the question. I thought you were asking how healthcare organizations check their staff

        Yeah, but that’s about money and profit, surely we all understand?
