The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Friday announced it would redirect $895 million from a woke infrastructure program to aid disaster relief, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
“The BRIC program was yet another example of a wasteful and ineffective FEMA program. It was more concerned with political agendas than helping Americans effected by natural disasters. Under Secretary Noem’s leadership, we are committed to ensuring that Americans in crisis can get the help and resources they need,” a FEMA spokesperson told Breitbart News in a written statement.
FEMA, under Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem, ended the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program and canceled all applications from fiscal years 2020-2023. All grant funds not distributed to states, tribes, territories, and local communities will be returned to either the Disaster Relief Fund or the U.S. Treasury.
The BRIC program was created as part of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, otherwise known as the so-called infrastructure bill, which is known to have many leftist carveouts.
The 2021 BRIC program focused on, among other things, grants to “emphasize equity considerations through further assessment of vulnerable communities, a broadened range of stakeholder input and more varied partnerships.”
This was part of the government program –> NGO –> people’s pockets money moving scheme.
