Catholic Charities San Diego processed $98.5 million in taxpayer money last year.
How much reached refugees? $398 per person.
The federal government pays $1,225+ per refugee (State Dept OIG Report, March 2023). Catholic Charities spent $398 on direct assistance (audited financial statements, June 30, 2024).
The gap: $827 per person = $114.8 million in overhead.
Where it went:
CEO salary: $216,785
Personnel costs: $8.4 million
Subcontractors: $4.6 million
"Administrative expenses"
Federal dependence: 83% (up from 52% in 2023)
The operation:
• 138,787 people served
• $55.2M spent on direct assistance
• $98.5M received from HHS, DHS, and FEMA
• Source: Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, FY 2024 audit
Recent scandals:
• Milwaukee: $1.7M stolen by employees (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Dec 2024)
• Rio Grande Valley: 6-year federal ban for "major violations" (Fox News, Dec 2025)
This is ONE affiliate. There are 64 more.
If every affiliate did half this volume, that's $3+ billion a year flowing through one network.
More border crossings = more federal payments. They have a financial incentive for the crisis to never end.
