In the aftermath of two devastating hurricanes, then-Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper’s administration steered some $100 million in disaster funding toward affordable housing projects — despite hundreds of storm victims stuck in temporary homes, according to an analysis.
Under Cooper’s watch, the North Carolina Office of Recovery and Resiliency (NCORR) sent $100 million for affordable housing as the $1 billion agency was suffering from a gaping budget shortfall, an analysis by the John Locke Foundation, a free-market think tank in the state, found.
One of the affordable housing projects, Starway Village, was a $9 million 278-unit complex that opened to people earning $45,000 a year, about 12 miles away from the beach.
Critically, those affordable housing projects do not require applicants to be hurricane victims.
Cooper’s team refused to comment, but the state office defended the affordable housing program, arguing it did not hamper the recovery for storm victims.
“When determining program needs and funding, NCORR worked in collaboration with HUD [Department of Housing & Urban Development] to determine and prioritize needs in storm-impacted areas, while also ensuring full compliance with federal requirements for use of the funds,” a NCORR spokesperson told The Post.

The fact that they elected this rat Governor is bad enough but it looks like he will be a US Senator.
That's only $32K per unit. If it worked, at first glance I'd say the State got a good deal. In California, I've seen a lot worse.
Helene victims in both North Carolina and Tennessee got screwed good and hard. If it weren’t for private charities and the generosity of individual citizens; we would have taken an even worse beating than we did.
On a brighter note, I won’t be looking at his name and throwing up in my mouth for voting for him like I did with Thom Tillis.
He was covering what his commie buddies embezzled.
DimocRATs won’t care about that.

They built here after the Almeda fire and nothing (cheap ass mobile home)is under $109,000 with space rent of $1,000 a month. All our homes that burned have been replaced with government housing. I’ll rot out here before I will allow the government to be my landlord.

Democrats gotta’ scam - It’s thjeir DNA
If they aren’t stealing, cheating, lying, scamming they aren’t democrats.
I did say that it looked like a good deal for the State. I said nothing of its victims.
Banks put up the money for 30 years. Housing goes up and politicians show off. When the 30 years are up the bank owns the building and sells the it for a big profit.
That’s what I’ve heard.
NCORR sounds like NC’s version of Tennessee’s ‘Long Term Recovery Groups’...tits on a boar. Such groups ARE good at patting themselves on the back, though.
I didn’t say it did.
I’m in Oregon
In Oregon it’s private Big donors getting the contract.
On a more fundamental level who appointed the government to be an insurance provider or a landlord.
People should take care of their own junk and stop expecting other taxpayers to give them money any time something bad happens.
By the time your tax dollar actually reaches people in need its been filtered through multiple layers of government and then onto multiple layers of NGOs. They provide no real service just graft the maximum skim off the top.
The person in need is lucky to get 5 cents for every tax dollar collected. The mafia was never this greedy.
Cooper’s been a real stinker a long time.
