Dear Mr. Marlenee:

     Subject: ITnvestigation into Allegations of
                Wrongdoing by Cascade County Housing
                for the Developmentally Disabled, Inc.7
                (HRD-80-108)                            1

     In your January 22, 1980, letter and later discussions
with your staff, you asked us to audit the Cascade County
Housing for the Developmentally Disabled, Inc. (CCHDD),
because of alleged program abuses. They were that CCHDD:

     --Failed to meet its clients' basic needs for food,
        shelter, clothing, and medical care.

     --Falsified client data for Government records.

     --Mismanaged clients' funds.

     --Used improper and illegal training programs on
       clients.

     --Hired unsuitable staff.

     The developmentally disabled are people whose handicap is
attributable to mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy,
autism, or other neurological handicapping conditions closely
related to mental retardation and requiring treatment similar
to that required by a mentally retarded individual. Our review
evaluated CCHDD's current policies and practices relating to
these allegations. On May 28, 1980, we briefed your office on
the results of our review. In summary, we found that


                                                       (104125)
