Biden Prioritizes Ukraine Aid While Hurricane Victims In North Carolina Are Left Homeless

The Biden administration has approved another $500 million in military aid to Ukraine, yet thousands of Americans struggling in North Carolina are being forced out of FEMA-funded hotels today. These 3,500 families, still recovering from Hurricane Helene, now face freezing temperatures and a snowstorm with no shelter. This glaring contrast between foreign aid and the abandonment of American citizens highlights where the Biden administration’s true priorities lie.

FEMA’s Transitional Sheltering Assistance program ends today, cutting off support for families still without stable housing. The agency justified the decision by claiming some homes were marked “habitable,” while others declined inspections or could not be contacted. However, many affected families say FEMA never completed promised inspections or provided clear updates on their status.

As a winter storm threatens to bring heavy snow and temperatures in the teens, thousands of families are left to fend for themselves. Shelters are at capacity, and FEMA has only delivered 90 of the temporary homes it promised to provide.

North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis (R) expressed outrage over FEMA’s mishandling of the crisis. He demanded immediate action to eliminate the bureaucratic hurdles blocking families from receiving necessary aid. Tillis warned that FEMA’s failure to act is putting families in even greater danger.

Meanwhile, billions continue to flow into Ukraine. Since 2022, the United States has sent more than $175 billion to support Ukraine’s war effort. While Ukraine receives endless aid, struggling Americans are left without help in the middle of a brutal winter.
