Starting July 7, management company Nan McKay & Associates will officially take over the program. Becker reached out to JHA to find out why the change is being made and how much the contract with the company will cost. We are waiting to hear back.
This move follows more than a year of turmoil at JHA, a troubled agency we’ve been reporting on extensively. That includes:
- Multiple board resignations
- High CEO turnover
- Executive leadership firings
- Criminal charges against the agency’s former Deputy CFO
