Former President Donald J. Trump falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris expended billions of FEMA dollars on housing illegal migrants, which was debunked as inaccurate.
FEMA's disaster relief fund received almost $36 billion for the 2024 fiscal year, with additional dedicated funding for various programs totaling over $10 billion.
The $650 million allocated for the Shelter and Services Program represents just under 2% of FEMA's disaster relief funding, debunking Trump's claims about significant misallocation.
Allegations by Trump and his allies regarding FEMA's financial prioritization of migrant services rely on misinformation and lack context regarding the overall federal budget.
