Nonprofit for pregnant women & young parents used funds on smoke shop and to buy land for hemp production, records show

Long list of questionable purchases by state-funded organization called ‘an egregious misuse of tax dollars’ by lawmaker

A San Antonio nonprofit that provides assistance to pregnant women and young parents spent $25,000 this year to purchase land that was later registered to produce industrial hemp, records obtained by the KSAT 12 Defenders show.

The land purchase was finalized in August, according to Bexar County Clerk records, and is one of a long list of questionable expenditures made by A New Life for a New Generation, a nonprofit founded in 2016 with locations on the city’s West Side and East Side.
