He allegedly used the cash to buy a $7 million mansion in Westwood, a $125,000 Range Rover and to cover his kids’ private school tuition, private jet travel and stays at luxury resorts, the US Attorney’s Office said.

“California is the poster child of rampant fraud, waste, and abuse of tax dollars,” charged First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli. “The state has facilitated the spending of billions of dollars to combat homelessness, with little to show for it and almost no oversight.”

Soofer has been charged with wire fraud for his alleged misappropriation of the money — of which $17 million came directly from Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the feds said.

The charity bigwig is accused of lying to LAHSA about how he was using the funds and of fabricating payments to vendors for homeless housing services when he was actually diverting the money to his own bank account, the feds said.

“The only abundant blessings he gave were to himself,” Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman said during a press conference.

Soofer allegedly billed the city for the services he failed to provide — while he was living it up in luxury resorts across the country using private jets from Hawaii to Florida
