Audit of the Office of Justice Programs Victim Assistance Funds Subawarded by the Wisconsin Department of Justice to Pathfinders Milwaukee, Inc., Milwaukee, Wisconsin Read Report Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced today the release of a report on two grants totaling approximately $1.3 million awarded by the Wisconsin Department of Justice (Wisconsin DOJ) to Pathfinders Milwaukee, Inc. (Pathfinders) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) awarded these grants to the Wisconsin DOJ, as the state administering agency, to make subawards to provide services to youth victims of sexual violence and exploitation. As of January 2024, the Wisconsin DOJ had reimbursed Pathfinders a total of $897,700.     The DOJ Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found that Pathfinders used the grant funds to provide advocacy, therapy, case management, and outreach services to youth victims of sexual violence and exploitation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. However, the OIG identified that Pathfinders could improve certain areas of its grant management, particularly its performance reporting procedures and financial procedures. Additionally, the OIG identified $1,800 in unsupported costs.     The DOJ OIG made three recommendations to OJP and the Wisconsin DOJ to improve Pathfinders' grant management and administration and to remedy unsupported costs. OJP agreed with all three recommendations. The Wisconsin DOJ concurred with, and Pathfinders accepted, the three recommendations.
