Correction: Adam Holdorf's front-page story on the city Human Service Department's assessment of SHARE ("Trouble at SHARE, June 28, 2001) got a couple of things wrong. The City asked SHARE to hire a financial director, not an accountant as Real Change reported. SHARE has an accountant, based out of the Archdiocesan Housing Authority, who performs financial audits. For the past three years, SHARE's financial reviews have come out clean.
