Lawsuit: Dynamic Life

“The state of Oregon is suing a religious nonprofit it once paid millions of taxpayer dollars to take care of the state’s most vulnerable children.

The lawsuit focuses on one of the smaller contracts the state had with Dynamic Life, a nonprofit based in Marion County.

The $1.3 million contract was so that Dynamic Life could create a mobile child-caring agency. The idea was to offer services to families in crisis in their homes in order to avoid having to remove kids and teenagers and put them in hotels.

But the lawsuit filed last week alleges that, despite the state sending $966,666.64 to the nonprofit, none of the “specific deliverables” or “anything else of any value” to the state was received.”

“The lawsuit filed Jan. 6 alleges that Dynamic Life’s founder, Nathan Webber, and his son Josiah, entered the contract with the state through a “series of misrepresentations and false promises as to Dynamic Life’s experience and capabilities, when they had no intent or ability to actually perform, and used the funds obtained from ODHS for their own personal benefit.””
