Congressman Krishnamoorthi demands FEMA release $117 million in emergency funds withheld since January 2025, citing humanitarian concerns.
Quiver AI Summary
On August 1, 2025, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and fellow Oversight Committee members urged FEMA and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to release nearly $117 million in Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds, which were blocked by the Trump administration. The funds were frozen in January 2025 despite a federal court ruling directing their release.
In a letter, Krishnamoorthi highlighted the critical need for these funds in Illinois, stating that over 70 counties rely on them to provide shelter and food for vulnerable families. “Every day this funding is withheld, more families face eviction and children go hungry,” he said.
The lawmakers requested a detailed update on the funds' status and demanded answers to key questions by August 15, 2025. They emphasized the urgency of resuming disbursements to support communities in need.
