After a nearly yearlong investigation into Albany Helping Hands, results are in, with state officials concluding the homeless shelter's board of directors' "governance and accounting practices have fallen below legal standards."  Nearly a year ago, the beleaguered homeless shelter faced allegations of unfair hiring practices, breaching bylaws and possible conflict-of-interest transactions.
