Today, 3,500 families in North Carolina are being evicted from FEMA-funded hotels as freezing temperatures and snow threaten the region. These families, still recovering from Hurricane Helene, are left without shelter while the Biden administration continues funneling billions of taxpayer dollars into Ukraine’s war effort. Just this week, another $500 million in military aid was approved for Ukraine, exposing the administration’s misplaced priorities.
FEMA has ended its Transitional Sheltering Assistance program, claiming that some homes are now “habitable,” some families declined inspections or could not be reached. However, many families report they were never properly contacted or inspected, leaving them blindsided by the loss of support. With freezing conditions settling over the state, families are now in grave danger.
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.

North Carolina is bracing for a brutal winter storm, with forecasts predicting several inches of snow and temperatures plunging into the teens. Emergency shelters are already overwhelmed, and FEMA has only provided 90 temporary housing units—far fewer than promised. This leaves thousands of families without a safe place to stay as dangerous weather looms.
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

North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis (R) condemned FEMA’s failure to support these families, calling it “unacceptable” and demanding immediate action to eliminate the bureaucratic obstacles preventing aid. He emphasized that FEMA’s slow response is putting already vulnerable people at further risk.
Biden found 500Million for California. 700 dollar checks and Eviction notices for North Carolina.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration’s unwavering focus on Ukraine continues. Since 2022, more than $175 billion has been sent to Ukraine, with little accountability or oversight. While foreign aid continues, American families are left to suffer in life-threatening conditions without proper assistance.
He promises endless amounts of money 💰 to the same people who mismanaged it the first time !!

Local shelters and community organizations are struggling to meet the demand for emergency housing. Families are left with no answers and nowhere to turn.
