As North Carolina braces for a severe snowstorm, 3,500 families displaced by Hurricane Helene are being forced out of FEMA-supported hotel rooms today. This decision comes as the Biden administration sends another $500 million in military aid to Ukraine. The administration’s continued focus on foreign conflicts over American citizens struggling at home paints a troubling picture of misplaced priorities.
FEMA’s Transitional Sheltering Assistance program officially ends today, cutting off housing support for thousands who have yet to secure permanent homes. FEMA claimed that aid was removed because homes were “habitable,” inspections were declined or families could not be reached. Yet many families say FEMA failed to provide necessary inspections or follow through on promised help.
North Carolina is still a mess, people were getting kicked out to hotels on the coldest day of the year an FEMA was not reachable. Awful.

With freezing temperatures and snow falling, families are left with few options. Emergency shelters are full, and FEMA has delivered only 90 temporary homes—far less than what was promised.
Now do North Carolina where people are still freezing
Ur gonna need NC in 28
They won't forget if the administration doesn't get up there and help those people. They were forced out of hotels yesterday. The vouchers expired. #NorthCarolina— Abigail's Dad (@Georgiapapi) January 10, 2025

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) criticized FEMA for its slow and inadequate response. He called for immediate action to provide aid and demanded that red tape preventing families from accessing help be removed.
Biden found 500Million for California. 700 dollar checks and Eviction notices for North Carolina.

Meanwhile, American taxpayer dollars continue flowing to Ukraine with little oversight. Since the war began, the Biden administration has funneled $175 billion overseas while American families are neglected.
He promises endless amounts of money 💰 to the same people who mismanaged it the first time !!
