The house, valued at $1.1 million, is owned by the C Street Center, a sister organization of the Fellowship. It received more than $145,000 in Fellowship grants between 1997 and 2000, according to IRS records — including $96,400 in 1998 for reducing debt.
I say again, WTF???
We had some friends living in Silver Spring, MD (a DC suburb) who were paying roughly twice that for a one BR apartment! Hmm... they can't balance a budget, they vote themselves pay raises and they are effectively living in low-income housing?!? :banghead:

My living arrangements are totally appropriate and within the House rules," said Doyle. "There's no direct correlation between the tenants and the Foundation — there are tenants who have absolutely zero involvement, and some do. And there's no benefit to live there, other than the fact that it's convenient."
"Oh, did I forget to mention it's cheap! If I had to find my own place, I'd be paying many times what I am here!"
