Only about 22 percent of the applicants for FEMA disaster assistance after the July 4th floods that ravaged Kerr County, Texas have been deemed eligible to get financial help so far, the Texas Tribune reports on another failure by the Trump Regime to help even its own voters when they’ve suffered.
Nearly four months after the cataclysmic flood that left at least 117 dead in Kerr alone – including 27 campers and counselors at the Camp Mystic Christian sleepaway camp for girls – 1,749, or less than half the 3,228 applications have made it past the eligibility review stage as of October 11th. Of those, only 709 were deemed eligible while 775 were denied, many of whom had stopped responding or withdrew. The 22 percent rate is significantly below the 39 percent pre-2025 average.
