The former head of a San Francisco homeless charity has been charged with stealing money intended to help struggling locals avoid homelessness — to fund a “lavish” lifestyle that included luxury cars and trunks full of jewelry. Gwendolyn Westbrook, who was CEO of United Council of Human Services, allegedly grifted more than $1. 2 million in public funds — after the organization received tens of millions in government grants over the past 20 years.
