Council chair Krystal Oriadha defended the decision to award a $5.2 million grant to the nonprofit Community on the Frontline, stating that an audit will provide clarity on the funding.
The grant has drawn scrutiny after questions were raised about the nonprofit being led by a close friend of the chair, prompting calls for an audit of the award.
The Prince George’s County Council continues to face examination over the large grant as the audit process moves forward.
