The General Audit of the City of Buenos Aires (AGCBA) detected that there were homes and day centers for people with disabilities who received financial support from the Buenos Aires government, even though they did not have municipal authorization. There was also a lack of accessibility in the institutions inspected.

The former General Directorate of Disability, where the Homes for People with Disabilities program was financed, was audited during the 2007 period, the last year before the transfer of its areas to other dependencies. The AGCBA observed that "it is not evident that the pertinent follow-ups were not carried out to institutions - of the household program, nor monitored the file of the beneficiaries" from the Directorate.

Thus, when the Buenos Aires Audit visited three sampled households, it found that two did not have "municipal qualification", such as the daytime residence and 24 hours El Pobre de Asís, where in addition "the bathroom prevented access to A wheelchair, "and in her dining room was verified the existence of" one bathroom for men and one for women, for 160 people who attend daily.”

The Day Home, Blessed Don Luis Guanella also had no authorization, "no safety devices were found", the bathroom that theoretically adapted "was not suitable for people with special needs" and "had an electric shower."
Meanwhile, the AGCBA stated that it was not possible to verify the existence of "monitoring and advisory activities of the team", and that there were cases in which "reports on the expenses incurred with the subsidy" were not obtained. It even indicated that despite the changes in the program, "the control and monitoring of institutions continued to be ineffective and sporadic."

In 2008, after the transfer of areas of the Disability Directorate to the current Commission for the Full Participation and Integration of People with Special Needs (COPINE), a "disarticulation" was detected between COPINE and the Hogares program of the dissolved Directorate "regarding the transfer of documentation for the 2007 financial year".

Lack of control in the Institutions Support program

From the analysis of records of a program dedicated to providing technical and economic assistance to social entities, Support to Institutions, a subsidiary of the former Disability Directorate, there was a lack of criteria to evaluate the operational expenditure that institutions have when implementing a project ".

The report states that "of the 25 approved projects, the criterion for reducing the amounts originally requested was not determined in three institutions: the Argentine Adapted Tennis Association with original subsidy requested for $ 20,000 signed the agreement for $ 10,000 and the Association Mutual University 'Manuel Ugarte' with an original application of $ 20,000, finally granted $ 15,000. "

According to the person in charge of the area "of the 28 files denied, 22 were not approved due to budget cuts." According to the AGCBA, "it was not possible to determine the selection criteria prior to the budget cut by which these projects were discharged".

Finally, the report explains that after the transfer of the Program Support to Institutions to COPINE in 2008, it was verified that despite "the increase in the budget line to $ 1,602,310, and that a greater number of files were approved, Appointed personnel for the analysis and implementation of the program "and" the number of agents (three), who constitute the technical team, is insufficient."
