HUD is violating the law by withholding billions in disaster aid from Puerto Rico, Democrats say

The Department of Housing and Urban Development has yet to give Puerto Rico the ability to apply for billions of dollars in natural disaster mitigation aid that was appropriated by Congress three months ago, something that Democrats say violates the law.

by phone."The delay is not acceptable, and it's certainly not acceptable to single-out Puerto Rico. The president's rhetoric on this raises a lot of questions about what's going on here and where this directive is coming from." Puerto Rico would have to wait an unspecified amount of time before receiving their allocated mitigation funds

The senior officials further said there were several HUD personnel in Puerto Rico, including a financial monitor, to ensure previous federal money already doled out was being properly used.

Democrats should be investigating where are the $92 millions given by USA to Puerto Rico. Perhaps the major of San Juan knows where all the money went!

PointCounterpt Trump is trying to figure out how to use it on his vanity wall.

What the fuck is wrong with these ppl?

HUD HERE, HUD THERE, HUD EVERYWHERE ,& NO ONE EVER HELPS CORRUPTION INSURANCE SCAMS ALL OVER AGAIN

TheWarMonitor . Wow... Puerto Rico can’t show clear account for what they had received. Poor financial stewardship... no more funds.

Of course they are because Ben Carson is another one of Trump's cronies who has no idea what he is doing.

Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news

Put some people in office down there that can be trusted w/ making sure the money goes where it’s needed and not into their own bank accounts.

They also want more paper straws and Impossible Burgers sent to PR, immediately!

Oh yeah it's going towards the Wall or Turnberry or his other golf properties due to losing monies and we will pay, bail them out meanwhile we suffer with higher prices because of the tariffs.

You talking about the wall money?

This idea that no matter how poor and criminal you are, you have a RIGHT to live amongst your betters is ludicrous. The sooner HUD is dissolved the better.

That Uncle Tom with the moronic gaze must be proud

HUD and FEMA aren't related.
