On June 3rd, 2015, ProPublica published an article titled “How the Red Cross Raised Half a Billion Dollars for Haiti and Built Six Homes”. The article ignited a firestorm of conversation, from television talk shows to Facebook feeds. The article, written by Justin Elliot and Laura Sullivan of ProPublica, and sourced with help by Jakob Johnston, alleged that in the aftermath of the January 2010 earthquake the Red Cross claimed to have provided homes for more than 130,000 people. In reality, just six homes had been built.
