One of the companies allegedly involved in the giant Feeding Our Future fraud case is still active — and is a landlord for several homes in the Twin Cities, according to new reporting from MPR News and APM Reports.

These houses are operated as group homes for Minnesotans with disabilities that receive millions of government dollars.

The Feeding Our Future case involves at least 78 defendants charged with stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from federal child nutrition programs in Minnesota.

That case has garnered national attention over the past few weeks from President Donald Trump, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.

Minnesota's Department of Human Services disburses funding to group homes in Minnesota.

MPR News host Clay Masters spoke with Temporary DHS Commissioner Shireen Gandhi about the new reporting.
