Stimulus money meant to help 400 Detroit job-seekers reportedly helped 2

A chunk of an $11 million stimulus grant meant to provide low-income Detroit residents with clothing for job interviews reportedly aided just two people -- far short of the 400 job-seekers the money was meant to help.

The findings were part of a new audit on the city's Department of Human Services, according to The Detroit News.

The 2009 grant in question was used to start a service center -- which included among other features a call center for families in need and a clothing boutique.
