The Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice (MOCJ) says a scandal-scarred violence interrupter nonprofit that holds millions of dollars in city contracts has cleaned up its act by fulfilling the requirements of a “corrective action plan” (CAP) it entered into in 2019, following findings from the city Department of Investigation (DOI) of financial impropriety and nepotism at the organization.
In an interview with PoliticsNY, MOCJ laid out the areas in which they feel the nonprofit – Man Up Inc. – has surpassed its mandate to implement a series of changes to its financial management and organizational structure prescribed by the CAP, a document that was shared exclusively with PoliticsNY. The five-year plan took effect in August 2019.
