CALLING ON URBAN AFFAIRS COALITION & the city of philadelphia

Urban Affairs Coalition (UAC) assumes the financial and legal responsibility for every partner and project under its 501(c)(3) umbrella. The Hierarchy is a UAC independent contractor and City of Philadelphia vendor owned by tax cheat and poseur Jacques Latoison. Counterfeit Christian Latoison allegedly embezzled and misappropriated significant federal grant money. As a steward of public funds that are for the purpose of helping the community, UAC has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to fraud or theft by any employee, contractor, or officer. UAC, Infinite Economic Development Solutions, CHOP, and the City of Philadelphia are aware of his brazen illicit actions and allow it to continue.

*white-collar crime alert*

$216,977 plus accruing interest is 1 year 5 months 10 days overdue. UAC is willfully negligent in allowing the financially challenged, unstable Latoison to touch payroll. UAC may be complicit in abetting tax fraud, knowing The Hierarchy does not issue 1099s or W2s. The Hierarchy stole $33,901. In addition, $35,888 is owed for database programming services contracted by UAC’s independent consultant, EDP.
UAC has paid Carlos Jones’ Infinite Economic Development Solutions (IEDS) over $2M for EDP work. The Hierarchy, paid over $4M by UAC, siezed $91,389 overtime pay, claiming it as vigilante reparations.

**tax evasion alert**

Jacques Latoison, a Kenneth Copeland groupie, has a Delaware IRS federal tax lien of $41,596.๐Ÿคก

Delaware criminal investigators finally got Hudini Latoison for his long outstanding $87,882 tax lien. Information keeps rolling in; there is a confirmed $41,596 New Castle County, DE tax lien plus 10 others listed. Dollar amounts forthcoming.
The Hierarchy has a longstanding tax debt of $10,090 to the City of Philadelphia that has remained unpaid for a decade. Sources say this is now $50,000. Waiting for hard copy proof.
See: Case Docket
The Hierarchy has invoiced UAC over $4M paid from tax ๐Ÿ’ฐ.
Although the city has faced challenges in serving Latoison with its judgment, it has miraculously located The Hierarchy to award contracts.
Maybe the city needs to hire the DE Dog the Bounty Hunter.
Latoison was in court with federal authorities on
April 4, 2023, regarding unpaid taxes.
Additionally, there exists a considerable number of unpaid judgments against him spanning over a decade across multiple states.

FAKE MINORITY DEI VENDORS

UAC claims IEDS is a minority local business for their DEI quotas. IEDS is neither. And Carlos Jones might not be a UAC employee.
UAC claims The Hierarchy is a minority local business for their DEI quotas. The Hierarchy is neither.

UAC and the City of Philadelphia use The Hierarchy as a no-bid City OEO Vendor. The Hierarchy SBA business address is this Delaware McMansion.
IEDS is also a operating from a DE McMansion address; the IEDS city hovel is a front and the PO Box mailing address is not a physical address.
How does UAC explain mailing The Hierarchy tax forms to an undeliverable PO Box in PA with no residential address?
Isn’t that falsifying records?
UAC legal counsel advocates The Hierarchy not issuing tax documents for its workers.
That could constitute welfare fraud and/or child support fraud. These are federal requirements.
The Hierarchy servers are located at the: Netrality Data Centers.
It seems nobody fact-checked The Hierarchy ๐Ÿคฅ OEO status.

The Hierarchy received an SBA IEDL PPP loan at its then physical McMansion Delaware business address.

UAC may be involved in a potential violation of the Federal Contracting rules. UAC awarded The Hierarchy server hosting contracts for over a decade without requesting new pricing. In reality, pricing has significantly decreased since 2010.

Infinite Economic Development Solutions

Urban Affairs Coalition and the City has presented Carlos Jones as a UAC Executive since 1986.
Mr. Jones signs invoices from UAC to the projects looking like he is a UAC employee.
Carlos Jones must be getting a big-ass paycheck or three to afford his lifestyle, but from whom?
UAC fired him in the year 2013.
I sure as hell can’t get paid for the work I did for him driving his business.

UAC EDP was formed in 1998.
Beverly Woods, Director of Economic Opportunity Division, warned Jones in 2011 EDP was losing money.
She cut the IT budget for Latoison. โœ‚๏ธ
๐Ÿ’ฉ Shit the fan in 2012. โ˜• EDP was hemorrhaging money.
Carlos Jones began invoicing UAC EDP as a consultant 10/15/2012.
John Lane signed a contract 10/16/2012.
Jones formed IEDS as operating from this shithole on 12/12/2012.
UAC contracted IEDS as an Independent Consultant on 6/20/2013.
IEDS began billing UAC on 7/11/2013, before Carlos was fired.
Jones, Lane, and Gumbs were fired from UAC 10/1/2013.

Did the City perhaps hire Jones, Gumbs, and Lane 10/2013?
๐Ÿคท๐ŸปMaybe the city pays their base + benefits + retirement.

Is Carlos Jones paid as a:
1. (UAC employee OR a City of Philadelphia employee*) AND as a
3. UAC Independent Consultant company owner? ๐Ÿค”

Carlos Jones supervises three UAC employees.
But if he is on City payroll (TBD) how can he supervise UAC folks?
IEDS bills UAC for his IEDS W2s. This includes himself.๐Ÿค”
UAC in turn bills the projects for IEDS W2s and UAC W2s.
Did the “boys club” figure out how to keep Carlos in charge in 2013? Woods must be that “nasty EDP woman” Latoison rambles on about. Beverly Woods is a now city employee.
In 2014 UAC presented the “IEDS 3” as UAC EDP core staff.
UAC EDP hires Athena’s son, Vincent Gumbs, Jr. in 2014.
UAC EDP hires Sharmain’s attorney husband Norman Matlock as the Contract Compliance Coordinator in 2014.
Vincent Gumbs, Jr. is also a city employee.
Who knows. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿป
Carlos Jones never missed a paycheck.
๐ŸšฉUAC has paid The Hierarchy for all of IEDS’s programming!๐Ÿšฉ

*A Carlos Jones is an Information Technology Director for the City of Philadelphia. This can’t be the same person because Carlos IEDS Jones lives and works from his Fresh Prince of Bel-Air McMansion in DE and is presented as a UAC employee. Carlos Jones had an International Agriculture Produce Group EcoVillage email. After all, Latoison provides their emails, too.
Itโ€™s odd a Grant Coordinator named Carlos Jones works with the Austin Independent School District in TX. The number of grant managers coincidentally christened “Carlos Jones” is akin to Star Trek’s Seven of Nine. ๐Ÿ–– Mix that in with a City employee named Athena Gumbs and the odds are astronomically remote.

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

Jacques Latoison said the reason he was 14 weeks behind in cutting my paychecks was because Kevin Satterthwaite refused pay The Hierarchy invoices until CHOP Facilities Services Construction Management paid its UAC EDP IEDS invoices.
(Of course “๐ŸคฅLying Latoison” was once again, lying.)
CHOP executives are aware their UAC EDP IEDS Invoices and Contract Compliance reports are being generated from the database UAC EDP has not paid for. Is there just ONE person who is protecting tax dollars? ๐Ÿคฌ

No invoices are accepted or processed by UAC without a W9. **The W9 requirement is related to all income received from any source thru UAC. If UAC does not have a W9 on file, the IRS holds UAC liable for the taxes not the person.

The Hierarchy Hijacks UAC EDP Databases

The Hierarchy rebrands UAC EDP IEDS databases as its own.
Latoison conspired with Lisa Ashton Mattioli, INTECH OEO Officer and Diversity and Community Manager, to use The Hierarchy instead of IEDS to track contract compliance.
Lisa Ashton used to work for UAC Economic Development Projects. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
Latoison provides a login for Lisa Mattioli.๐Ÿคฏ
Latoison also has worked directly with Steele at L. F. Driscoll.
Does Jacques’ bestie Carlos Jones know about this?
Listen- ๐Ÿ”ช๐Ÿ”ช๐ŸŽถ Backstabbers

Carlos Jones contracted the programmer he ripped off to create a generic industry version of this database for potential clients like the Regional Housing Legal Service.
It seems Latoison’s Medio meco stepson was his original database guru. The Government already financed Latoison to develop this custom software many times over since 2009.

Fair Chance Act (Ban the Box)

The Fair Chance Act prohibits federal agencies and contractors from requesting criminal background information from job applicants before extending a job offer, with a few exceptions. This policy is commonly known as “Ban the Box.” UAC Legal counsel has apparently advised HR departments to run a search of ๐Ÿšฉpublic criminal court record hearings before making a conditional offer of employment.

Criminal Background Check

Volunteers who donate their time to Pennsylvania departments and organizations that help children, seniors or other at-risk individuals must first consent to a criminal background check.  Urban Affairs Coalition has 125,000 volunteers. How many of these volunteers interface with children or the elderly and are required to submit to a CBC? ๐ŸšฉA convicted child sex offendor can and do work at UAC Recovery sites. ๐ŸšฉDoes UAC have a Volunteer Manual and a standard agreement? Most nonprofits pay volunteer expenses, not UAC.

Business Associate Agreement

Business Associate Agreements (BAA) are important and can make or break a compliance program. According to HHS, any individual or entity that performs functions or activities on behalf of a covered entity that requires the business associate to access PHI is considered a business associate. ODAAT uses CAREWare and EZClaim containing PHI data for patients in two states (nine counties). Does UAC require a BAA for employees or consultants when applicable?

WHERE ARE MY PAYCHECKS I WAS PROMISED “WHENEVER POSSIBLE”?

On February 9, 2023, at 2:18 PM, UAC was notified their staffing company, The Hierarchy, was eight weeks late issuing paychecks.
Owner Jacques Latoison was pulling another Houdini. ๐Ÿ‘ป
It seemed payroll was being misappropriated.
UAC began monitoring the late paycheck situation.

National Network of Fiscal Sponsors ๐Ÿคก

Arun Prabhakaran is the Board Chair of National Network of Fiscal Sponsors (NNFS).

How embarrassing Arun Prabhakaran is out there telling nonprofits how to manage their business when his IT vendor is robbing folks blind.
What kind of man, who used to work for the DA’s office, does not report the felony and punishes the unpaid worker by allowing her to be fired and not compensated for her work? ๐Ÿคฏ

Arun Prabhakaran PBS Documentary

Arun Prabhakaran makes documentaries about Philadelphia crime while allowing his IT vendor to get away with embezzling taxpayers’ money.
Arun charges CHOP $400 per hour to consult for them; how about he let Jacques Latoison be his payroll processor? ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿคฃ

Additionally, NNFS is fiscally sponsored by Third Sector New England, Inc. (TSNE), reminding us that everyone has a reputation to preserve. Does Third Sector New England know Arun Prabhakaran allows his UAC staffing company to embezzle its worker’s pay? What an example of non-profit integrity.

80+ nonprofit organizations, referred to as “Program Partners”, trust UAC, their fiscal sponsor, with their financial management. The Program Partners URL is here.

EDP is not a actually a “Program Partner” ๐Ÿคฅ.
Too many trusting, honest vendors are facing payment issues.
Donors are angry their donations had not been acknowledged for up to nine months.

This is one helluva tangled web ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ of ODAAT EINS.
ODAAT INC. is a UAC Program Partner, using the UAC EIN.
See: Here
Melchezedek Wells is a full-time salaried employee of UAC.
UAC deposits large loans and pays for encampment invoices to Odaat, Inc., which does not have an EIN specified, at address 2532 N Broad Street. This same address was previously associated with the nonprofit ODAAT INC, which had an EIN of 23-3102459 until it was revoked on November 15, 2010.
See: Here
One Day at a Time, Inc., located at 2534 N Broad Street, has its own website, the domain is registered to Sharmain Matlock-Turner. Its EIN is 47-1586879. Presumably, the CashApp donations go to Wells’s nonprofit.
See: Here.
UAC covers the rent for the two ODAAT locations on Lehigh, but it should be noted that ODAAT RECOVERY INC (EIN: 23-2699857) has been revoked since 2010. These two must be running under the One Day at a Time INC EIN: 47-1586879 that hasn’t filed a 990 since 2016.
See: Here
See: Also Here
Additionally, UAC pays for-profit ODAAT Transitional Housing, LLC (EIN: 45-4784861) for landscaping services and other expenses. Who owns this for-profit company located at 2532 N Broad Street, thats uses the same address as the revoked nonprofit ODAAT INC.? Or is it owned by One Day at a Time INC EIN: 47-1586879 owned by Wells who hasn’t filed taxes since 2016? Or is ODAAT Transitional Housing, LLC a side-hustle?

๐ŸŒget your ODAAT banana pudding ๐ŸŒ

The Thrive Bridge Clinic also operates at this address.
UAC ODAAT had delinquent real estate taxes for the
๐ŸŒ2432 W Lehigh ๐ŸŒhomeless shelter for five years.
See: Docket
Insiders report UAC pays Mr. Wells’ salary & reimbursements to this shithole as his residential address ๐Ÿคฅ.
Wells lives the McMansion Hell dream life in Swedesboro, NJ .

UAC ODAAT is funded by around ten grants, including grants from the Office for Homeless Services and the federal Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESGP) #G24677.
Invoices are freestyle-shuffled between OHS contracts, creating chaos, overspending, and unpaid vendors. Where is common sense Policy and Procedures? ๐Ÿคฏ
You can bet the executive friends’ invoices are paid.
See: HUD and Philadelphia HUD Awards.

ODAAT provides same day pay to people; they are supposed to limit the worker to 4 days. And the income must be reported to child support and welfare. These are federal requirements; where are the controls and reports?

Founders, Program Leaders, Presidents are being paid as consultants: PA Youth Vote, Better Civics, Capture Greatness, Global Citizen, etc. Some are paid bi-weekly. Some are also paid bonuses as salary ONLY after donations are received, like a commission. UAC can be one of their donors that triggers a bonus. What?
๐Ÿšฉ๐ŸšฉCompensation should NEVER be tied to donations ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ

Discrimination, Racism, Sexual Assault & More! ๐Ÿคฏ

The daily challenges at UAC include Latoison’s racist outbursts, threats of violence, women being called “simple bitches”, discrimination, and sexual harassment. ๐Ÿคฌ
Women who face discrimination are advised to manage their emotions and consider the situation from a different perspective, especially if the people involved are perceived to be acting in the best interests of the people UAC serves. It is suggested that these racist folks may not intend to be racists; rather, they might simply come from different backgrounds.

The female victim was fired. Was she paid OT for “after hours thong modeling”? The pervert male was “released” and rehired by another UAC partner. UAC HR verbally warned Mr. Phillips that he would be in big trouble ๐Ÿ˜ฑ if he did it again ๐Ÿ†.
Would that include another separation payout and rehire? ๐Ÿ’ฐ The UAC policy to punish exempt employees is to put them on a mandatory PAID leave of absence.

No Means No – #MeToo

It seems the folks in charge at UAC take sexual assault incidents with a grain of salt. They don’t even have a form to report incidents. Victims have to send emails. There was another incident of a victim being dissed because he had been in a prior relationship with his assailant. What is the tipping point at UAC?
No Means No. Sexual Assault is Never okay. #MeToo

UAC Sole Source Bidding Sorcery

UAC has a “3-bid process” for contracts >$7,500. UAC does not document the rules ๐Ÿคก which results in too many “insider deals.” โ“ Where are these bids posted? Are help-wanted flyers on telephone poles good, or nah?
UAC uses the state’s $7,500 threshold instead of the city $500 requirement.
๐Ÿšฉ Federal contracts require the strictest rule be used.

Philadelphia Youth Network “Paychecks”

UAC Summer Youth Employment Program (SYP) intern hours are entered in the PYNDEX timesheet program; the CAO pays them with stipends. You do not want them on UAC payroll because it will cause them to be covered by UAC insurances as employees.” But what does the DOL say about interns?
See DOL: Click here

PA daycare centers interns must be at least 16 years of age.
Age and training. (a) A volunteer shall be 16 years of age or older and shall be directly supervised at all times by a staff person. (b) A staff person shall be 18 years of age or older. Since UAC assigns PYN youth to daycares, ๐Ÿšฉ the daycare would probably assume their intern is 16.

Severed Finger Baby Incident

The minimum wage in Philadelphia is currently $15.60 per hour; interns were paid $8. ๐Ÿšจ If a state or city establishes a more protective standard than the provisions of the FLSA, the higher standard applies in that state or city.
See DOL: Click here

The ODAAT 2020 Summer Youth Interns were never even paid. A “pushy woman” manager begged for small stipends; unknown results.
Children over the age of twelve (12) are paid on a WorkReady Visa Payroll Card. Visa Payroll Cards function like an ATM debit card. Entrusting a child with an ATM ๐Ÿง card is nuts.
No worries. UAC placed children under 16 as interns at Day Cares.

The Deadbeat Scroll

FEDERAL TAX LIENS

How is it possible that Urban Affairs Coalition kept paying Latoison with federal tax dollars when he refuses to pay his federal taxes? My sources are gathering the dollar amounts. One is confirmed at $41,596.42 originating from MD. Reportedly there are/were these:
Jacksonville Florida: $18,372, $31,619, $18,386
Baltimore MD: $47,995, $64,318, ($41,596 included above)
Plus our insiders tell us the City of Philadelphia BIRT tax lien ballooned from $10K to $50K. Not confirmed yet.
I am not sure if the rported FL and MD liens were transferred to DE and are included below.

** Update – Jacques Latoison has been cleared from the DE Wall of Shame below. This means he has entered into a payment plan or it is paid in full.

THE HIERARCHY IS NOT A CERTIFIED CITY OF PHILADELPHIA OEO MINORITY VENDOR
Kyle Branch announced on July 7, 2023 that Kevin Satterthwaite sounded the alarm and was holding Jacques Latoison’s hand to help him fill out the City of Philadelphia paperwork. ๐Ÿค”
Kyle Branch learned quickly that Latoison “pulls a wifey” 5 minutes into every meeting.
Jacques Latoison said “๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿป Kyle Branch – the Executives are no longer including him in meetings.”
**Spoiler Alert** You can’t be certified if you owe BIRT taxes.

THE HIERARCHY HAS A JUDGMENT BY THE CITY FOR UNPAID BUSINESS TAXES.
Does The Hierarchy have a Tax and Regulatory Status and Clearance Statement?
THE HIERARCHY IS PRIORITIZING PAYMENTS TO BLACKS & FINANCIALLY PUNISHING CAUCASIANS.
