Clermont Metropolitan Housing Authority Embezzlement
The case is several years old, but the Ohio Auditor of State just issued a final report in June 2025. Since it is close to home, involving the (now former) director of the Clermont Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA), I thought people may be interested. The case is also filed in the research library folder, “that’s where the money is.”
The defendant, Timothy Holland, was federally prosecuted for embezzling over $100,000, over a period of several years, simply using a CMHA credit card and also colluding with a CMHA contractor to build himself a “man cave” in his house, compliments of CMHA. Approximately $86,000 by credit card and $18,000 for the man cave. If you do an internet search for Mr. Holland, you will find that all the local TV news and the Enquirer reported on the case, which is good.
It looks like somebody called the Hotline for the HUD Inspector General and “dropped a dime” on Mr. Holland. Good for them.
The Ohio Auditor of State and the Ohio Attorney General were also credited by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the success of the case. The Auditor’s report is linked below:
