North Carolina mayor claims his daughter was denied $750 FEMA relief payment even though her home was ‘wiped out’

A North Carolina mayor’s daughter who lost her home in Hurricane Helene was allegedly turned down for the $750 FEMA emergency grant – and got only $300 that “won’t even cover what’s in her refrigerator,” her furious dad said.
Newland Mayor Derek Roberts’ daughter applied for the $750 Serious Needs Assistance from FEMA when her home was decimated by Hurricane Helene’s floodwaters nearly two weeks ago, he told FOX News on Tuesday night.
“My daughter, whose house got completely wiped out, she has no flood insurance. She meets with a FEMA person, applies for everything…she doesn’t get the $750 that Kamala says she is supposed to get,” Roberts lamented.
“[She] gets approved for $300 for personal items. What’s that supposed to do?” he continued.
“That’s literally all she got. Her entire first floor is wiped out, we hauled everything off, it’s gone…that won’t even cover what’s in her refrigerator.”
Roberts’ office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for a comment.
Vice President Kamala Harris mentioned the Serious Needs Assistance grant during a speech last week – drawing outcry from opponents who believed the government only planned to give storm victims $750 to cover massive amounts of damage.
