@@bettyjones113 Most who are from these counties (multiples spread far and wide) and providing aide in one way or another have all said housing was a problem before Helene.

@ you are correct. Thanks for taking the time to reply. A lot of money has been spent to help the un- housed. I’d like to see audits. I hope to vote out every local politician in my area. Mayor is in sixth year of her term. Can’t wait to say goodbye
I'm from The area my 20-year-old son is actually working with TDOT/FEMA it's horrible.. I met a single mother of four living in a hotel yesterday a church is paying for her hotel The people that have truly helped have been the ones that have came out of state churches Cajun Navy neighbors Americans So many good people God bless and Thank you all
Thank you for that information. I had read the Red Cross pulled stakes and left, while many people are afraid their kids are going to be taken by CPS. Cajun Navy is wonderful!
This is a disgrace that our government are not helping our citizens in the USA, but send out all kinds of money to other countries. Take care of our citizens before charity is send out of our country!! These poor kids and people will freeze this winter. Praying for all the families who are still in tents and do not have a warm place to live.
The Ukrainian aid goes to US defense contractors, to make new military equipment for the US armed forces. The Ukrainians get the obsolete/ 2nds!! However, aid to the Israeli govt goes to their defense contractors. They have escalated the conflict with Hamas from the West Bank to Gaza to Lebanon & even Syria!! How does the Israeli govt differ from the Russians under Putin, who will not live in peace with his neighbors??
Your democrat party did nothing to help people, FEMA refused to help homes with Trump signs and now you democrats have started your talk about taking people’s kids. You’re sick
People living in campers are not homeless. Their home is on wheels. I myself lived in one for 5 years. Never once felt homeless during that time because it was my home.
Gotta remember they may be limited to resources to keep water/heat on in those campers. They still trying to survive, do they have an income with so much gone!
CPS has already started taking their children. They have many hundreds of fema trailers but won't let them use them. Fema employees stay in a few. Govt don't want them to even use the Amish built tiny homes. Yet they don't mind cities living in cardboard boxes, tarps and tents.
They still living in tents and cars because the government has not organized any help for these people, absolutely shameful what's happening in America right now.
Being used or already used. Do you understand how huge an area WNC actually is? Picture the nearest 9 counties around you and now imagine NOW OF THEM HAVE WATER and most of the roads and bridges are GONE. 9 ENTIRE COUNTIES. This isn't a few cities.

@@josephinethornton3823 Federal Declaration went to 25 counties + the Rez. I live in one of them. And yes, 1/4th of the state is in the Declaration zone. North Carolina - for the outsiders - has 106 counties.
Unfortunately telling this is dangerous. CPS has already come and tried and successfully taken children. Living in a car or tent should not be a reason the government takes kids. It's a roof over their heads. Instead they should help people find housing not put more on these families
@@maggieburn No, probably not. The minor children are removed for neglect. It is then up to the parents to become capable of providing adequately for thier children; in most cases meet court ordered requirements but other than that seldom help. It doesnt matter if the children are living inadequately due to parental addiction of some sort, inadequate income, parental infirmity or illness, or Helene wiped them out. Some states provide families more reunification support than othrrs.
Leave the kids alone. Their parents are doing the best they can under the circumstance. 1000's of homes were destroyed. These families are doing what they can to survive and put their lives back together with limited and difficult to obtain government assistance. It will take time for volunteer support and citizen donations to get these families situated in better living conditions, but for now it is what it is. No one deserves government intervention that takes kids away.
No children should have to live in those conditions. Its the parents responsibility to care and provide for their children and these parents are failing miserably. The children need to be taken from those parents who cant even support themselves.

It should be a priority to set up a shelter for these mothers and children so “you know who” doesn’t try to kidnap them. It’s already happening. It’s the most evil, criminal part of this process. Not enough shame to go around. God bless the children and protect them. 🙏
Why are you focusing only on kids? This is families. Your reporting is creating a situation and peoples minds called fear of government coming in and taking control of the kids for their “safety“, call it like it is. It’s families that are homeless families.
Why hasn't the city put these families in rental apartments or long-term stay hotels? She said they have money available to help them? People should not have to sleep in their cars...
More national attention needs to be given to this situation in North Carolina, and the media nationwide should do more continual reporting of actual conditions and how to help respond to the ongoing needs of the people there. There is plenty of money and there are plenty of resources available to help every family affected by Hurricane Helene. People will give. Give them names and addresses of reliable agencies and churches and groups who are already doing the work. It will take a long time to overcome this disaster. Keep the public informed as to the needs. People will step up to help. Our family has been and plans to continue to support financially. Little goes a long way, when many give as they can.
The title doesn't convey the heart breaking issue of splitting kids up,living in horrible conditions on the parents. Parents are not a replaceable resource, prolonged stress damages health and earnings

I feel bad for all the people seeking permanent housing, but here's the thing: It takes time to build permanent housing, and that building can't really even begin until the cleanup is complete. What's needed right now is temporary housing. There were 126,000 homes damaged or destroyed in western NC. That's a lot of people; probably not all of them are in need of temporary housing but even if half of them are, it's a lot of people. It's going to take time, and it has nothing to do with government malfeasance. In fact I've seen videos from another content creator who was leading a convoy of trucks all carrying FEMA temporary shelters into NC. This was at least 3 weeks ago. But imagine what it takes to get 10,000 or more of these moved in; that's something that just can't be accomplished in a few days.
Call your senators! Write to everybody!

Good job media.....bring attention to the children without proper housing so that CPS can come and take them away from their parents. smdh.....why don't you bring attention instead to the lies about the number of people who have perished OR bring attention to the govt. taking the land these people once owned.
Now you're reporting?! Two months later. Just to bring trouble. Praying for their protection. Y'all single out these folks and DCFS shows up and makes more hell in their lives.
Do we have a number if how many kids are actually missing from the school roster??? It should be public information and can help identify the true number of deaths.
My God, why isn't the governor & not Fema has Samaratins purse been called & the Cajun Navy National guard putting up shelters as they do in wars to keep them safe. This is the most disgusting goverment on record in our lifetime. Just prayin for you all if I had enough money to help my mom & I 87 are praying, but that's not enough to get you sheltered from the storms comin up for the winter & we just keep prayin but thats not enough. How about calling in the church of Latter day saints. My best friend helped us all no matter what religion or beliefs call them in they will help anyone in time of need!
, put them in a closed mall,emergency care ,Sad,ive begged online for donations of winterized canvas tents,12x24,dont know if anyone heard my begging on their behalf
Lady. At LEAST you have a camper !!! Clean it up ! You’d have more room without junk and things thrown everywhere!!!!! Some people would be very happy to have a camper instead of tent or car and yours is super dirty and you were on tv. I’d be really embarrassed !!! Take care of the things you have !!
Are you referring to McKinney Vento rules, qualifications & protections? OR M/V funding? I can attest from experience that McKinney Vento funding is extremely limited. Plus what resources are offered or even available vary greatly from district to district/state to state. And now with such an influx of additional homeless children, resources will be even more limited.
@ In such a time of crisis, all possible avenues of support for our homeless student population are worthy of exploration imo. Possibly, some of federal funds could be diverted to student support for these students in crisis.
Hopefully housing solutions will be better than let's just evacuate/relocate to other states( similar to what happened to South LA and soth MS after Katrina)
The Amish came and built over 100 tiny homes and the governor will not let the people use them 😡 he will let them stay in a tent and freeze but will not let them use the homes!! PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL HIM ‼️‼️‼️
I wish that you were NOT 🚫 reporting this now, because it seems like ur trying to get kids taken from families. Families be cautious for who u talk to.
FEMA just completed roughly I want to say 170 modular homes fully furnished, appliances rent free for the fire victims in Lahaina Maui. These were primarily renters. It took 15 months. Took a year to complete debris removal etc….we have affordable housing that should be done in a few months. Everyone is working their ass off to help. Do what you can. Take what FEMA is offering. Do the paperwork. It’s a job. But, if you want to stay. It’s all you can do is get those resources. Red Cross etc. It’s not going to be instant. You have to think what can you do for your family now not wait around. Take the money you are getting and move with family to a place that has work and stay together.
Indeed, the democrats betrayed everyone and are traitors to our country. Treating criminals who crossed the border illegally better than they do our own taxpaying citizens. Worse is that people still vote for them.
The Emergency Management Agencies on the FEDERAL and STATE level are responsible. Theirs is the mandate to manage the extensive losses endured by large populations. They have the monies and resources and authority to do so. The time is late, the needs are real. This has nothing to do with the children. Housing is the next problem to be addressed, waive the stiff necked regs, think outside the box. Winter is closing in. The time to act is NOW.

Do not give to big organization's. If you can't donate please, please pray hard for all these devasted families. Do not forget them. Unbelievable the work that still needs to be done. Thank and God in Heaven bless every single person who has come to these peoples aid in time of such great need.
The fault of the governor. Why is the State not helping these folks? Churches thankfully are answering the call for resources. My heart hurts for them all! Praying from Arkansas.

Rebuilding roads and bridges was first and water was already happening. Thousand of miles of water lines!
People are working as fast as they can!
The first freezing night happened a month ago, did you just find out?
How are you so sure that the current person deemed president wouldn't see this person's cry for more help?
Yes, it is massive, and we are working on it.
But, more help is needed.
So, why are you being so rude? Totally unnecessary.

She's got a camper. Don't complain!
The entitlement is pretty wretched. Other states dealing with massive fires, droughts, but this state has a million yt 'missions' yammering like barking dogs.
umm how many adults are homeless due to helene??? it affects far more then children
The government regulations don't help. FEMA has camps but only for there workers.
Buy old Buildings,
From what I’ve seen, there’s a lot more than 1000 homeless children-and every child needs a family-so why not just say families?
Buncombe asheville govt have made it so difficult to develop land and build houses it is a joke. Now they have no plan
No problem there for the Woke liberals. They took the area after fleeing the North!
Good job media.....bring attention to the children without proper housing so that CPS can come and take them away from their parents. smdh.....why don't you bring attention instead to the lies about the number of people who have perished OR bring attention to the govt. taking the land these people once owned.
They don't cover deceit and nonsense.
There is no reason trailers can't be set up on a piece of land for these people.
Now you're reporting?! Two months later. Just to bring trouble. Praying for their protection. Y'all single out these folks and DCFS shows up and makes more hell in their lives.
It will be interesting to watch how FEMA handles the wind and flooding crisis in California and Oregon.
Do we have a number if how many kids are actually missing from the school roster??? It should be public information and can help identify the true number of deaths.
Please help these children 🙏
The parents could stay in a nice warm hotel with their kids. But they might have to speak civilly to a fema rep. Horrors!
Praying for you all and the babies
WHERE is the Governor of NC ?
Isn’t this FEMAs job? I’m appalled.
Haven't they already tried taking children away.... be cautious ⚠️.. keep your eyes open..
That is so incredibly sad I wish I had money to donate but I don’t any money either. But if I did I would definitely donate to these poor people.😢
There needs to be consequences to Cps or anyone who is responsible for taking these kids away from their parents.
Where are these children ?
My God, why isn't the governor & not Fema has Samaratins purse been called & the Cajun Navy National guard putting up shelters as they do in wars to keep them safe. This is the most disgusting goverment on record in our lifetime. Just prayin for you all if I had enough money to help my mom & I 87 are praying, but that's not enough to get you sheltered from the storms comin up for the winter & we just keep prayin but thats not enough. How about calling in the church of Latter day saints. My best friend helped us all no matter what religion or beliefs call them in they will help anyone in time of need!
900 billions annually for Pentagon executives . millions in bonuses each one.no money left for needed Americans like these.sad
, put them in a closed mall,emergency care ,Sad,ive begged online for donations of winterized canvas tents,12x24,dont know if anyone heard my begging on their behalf
You know,for the general welfare,of the affected citizens,,commandere,with pay to mall real estate owner
Get them housing. Do not touch those children.
Lady. At LEAST you have a camper !!! Clean it up ! You’d have more room without junk and things thrown everywhere!!!!! Some people would be very happy to have a camper instead of tent or car and yours is super dirty and you were on tv. I’d be really embarrassed !!! Take care of the things you have !!
OMG! Judge not Lest yee be judged. You have 3-5 people in a small camper and see if you can keep it clean and organized with no storage.
And Christmas is coming... Those poor kids.
Prayers for Them All.❤🙏
God bless them all with a better future 🙏
Research McKinney Vento Act for homeless students.
Are you referring to McKinney Vento rules, qualifications & protections? OR M/V funding? I can attest from experience that McKinney Vento funding is extremely limited. Plus what resources are offered or even available vary greatly from district to district/state to state. And now with such an influx of additional homeless children, resources will be even more limited.
@ In such a time of crisis, all possible avenues of support for our homeless student population are worthy of exploration imo. Possibly, some of federal funds could be diverted to student support for these students in crisis.
Just another excuse to take the children.
Some these children lost their parents 😢
I hope they don't get trafficked.
Hopefully housing solutions will be better than let's just evacuate/relocate to other states( similar to what happened to South LA and soth MS after Katrina)
The Amish came and built over 100 tiny homes and the governor will not let the people use them 😡 he will let them stay in a tent and freeze but will not let them use the homes!! PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL HIM ‼️‼️‼️
Why won’t the governor allow them?
Get the state supreme court to over-rule the governor
I wish that you were NOT 🚫 reporting this now, because it seems like ur trying to get kids taken from families. Families be cautious for who u talk to.
Children?
What about our elderly?
There are plenty of resources available for children.
Take care of our vulnerable seniors.
You have to give them time my goodness they just lost everything If the Dhs wants to do something get them a camper problem solved
How is this even possible ! while these same agencies have billions to house and shelter illegal immigrants
All schools and churches should be made available as living quarters - IMMEDIATELY.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE GOVERNMENTS?
These are mostly RW GOP states, who for years have defunded the social services safety nets... Chickens have come home to roost!!
They do that for migrants but not for Americans.
But they have parents. I’m hearing that child services is coming in and taking them away🤬. Keep them together.
FEMA just completed roughly I want to say 170 modular homes fully furnished, appliances rent free for the fire victims in Lahaina Maui. These were primarily renters. It took 15 months. Took a year to complete debris removal etc….we have affordable housing that should be done in a few months.
Everyone is working their ass off to help.
Do what you can. Take what FEMA is offering. Do the paperwork. It’s a job. But, if you want to stay. It’s all you can do is get those resources. Red Cross etc.
It’s not going to be instant. You have to think what can you do for your family now not wait around. Take the money you are getting and move with family to a place that has work and stay together.
Open up the city and county building to these family's to have a warm place to stay their tax money paid for these buildings
This is so a type and shadow of the Tartarian mud flood when all the leftover children were put on orphan trains and their parents put into asylums!
The bigger problem is all the single mothers. Where are the fathers and husbands?
Sounds like a CPS coming to diddy the kids.🤫
Our government needs to get it priorities in order. That's the nicest way I can say it. I feel like we've been betrayed.
Indeed, the democrats betrayed everyone and are traitors to our country. Treating criminals who crossed the border illegally better than they do our own taxpaying citizens. Worse is that people still vote for them.
Can other families take them in?
help keep them woth their families, dont remive rhe children.
The Emergency Management Agencies on the FEDERAL and STATE level are responsible. Theirs is the mandate to manage the extensive losses endured by large populations. They have the monies and resources and authority to do so. The time is late, the needs are real. This has nothing to do with the children. Housing is the next problem to be addressed, waive the stiff necked regs, think outside the box. Winter is closing in. The time to act is NOW.
Emergency need for heaters for the cabins!!!. Please send heaters, hose and adapter to Pastor Tim Clark, Bethel Wesleyan Church, 901 Tracy Grove Rd, Flat Rock, NC. 28731
What kind of adapter?
@@debraboatner2661 it connects hose to propane tank, and filters it. Tractor Supply or Home Depot can show you, but it should be on Amazon too I imagine?
@@debraboatner2661 from the Propane tanks - to the Heaters
Im so sorry you have to go thru this, i hope the president can help.🤧🙏🏼❤
We won’t have a President until Jan 20, 2025.
That would be January. Biden doesn't care about Americans.
Shame on FEMA, shame on our current administration. Lord have mercy on us. 🙏🏻
Shame ? This country is doing all it can 1 do you think you can snap your fingers and all will be well in a minute ? trump threw rolls of paper towels to Puerto Rico. What makes you think that slug would do any more for you ? Republicans don't even acknowledge you unless you are serving them on your hands and knees. Your blame should be on that fake god you worship. Where is your savior now ? I think I know.
The parents are doing the best in a bad situation while FEMA did nothing. Some are having their children taken away, which is incredulous. Help them rather than punish their plight.
Watch them swoop in now and take
The kids
Most people don't even realize how bad and homeless living in tents in the cold it still is in North Carolina. Please donate to local churches and local collections. Do not give to big organization's. If you can't donate please, please pray hard for all these devasted families. Do not forget them. Unbelievable the work that still needs to be done. Thank and God in Heaven bless every single person who has come to these peoples aid in time of such great need.
Do why can’t the state build homes?
People are still in hotels after the 2016 and 2018 hurricanes. Rebuild NC currently has 37 million in unpaid invoices.
The fault of the governor. Why is the State not helping these folks? Churches thankfully are answering the call for resources. My heart hurts for them all! Praying from Arkansas.
Nah. It’s not enough, thats all there is. Put bidens grand kids in this situation, etc. Some of FEMA’s hierarchy needs to feel this…
👍🙏🙏🙏 .... i wish !!!
Do federal workers take classes in how to never answer a question? They run in circles and explain how it should be working as it fails miserably. Double talking hypocrites
