East Haven Connecticut Housing Official Charged With Stealing $173,000

A Connecticut Housing Official and her husband is now charged with stealing Section 8 housing money from the East Haven housing authority. The amount of 173 thousand dollars was taken through a debit card that Cassandra Ashe illegally obtained.

I do hope she gets what she and her husband deserve stealing our tax money that was designated for low income housing families.

The executive director of East Haven’s housing authority was arrested with her husband Tuesday and charged with stealing $173,000 of federal housing money that was supposed to help low-income town residents pay their rent.

Cassandra Ashe, 36, and her husband, Jonathan, 43, are accused of conspiracy and theft from a program receiving federal money. Cassandra Ashe earns $57,000 a year as executive director of the authority. Her husband, who works in the New London Housing Authority’s maintenance department, earns $12.20 an hour. They live in North Haven.

According to the arrest warrant affidavit, Cassandra Ashe, without approval from the East Haven Housing Authority, obtained a debit card in May 2007 that gave her access to the authority’s bank account containing low-income rental subsidies.  via the Courant.com.
