FEMA is in fact offering people up to $750 in immediate aid if they’ve lost wages or housing in the hurricane, so people have the ability to accept that. They’re not taking peoples’ houses or anything; it’s pretty much no-strings-attached for Americans taking it.
BUT this isn’t too farfetched, if you conflate things. Remember that there were people being offered like $2500 for “damages” from the East Palestine train derailment a few years ago (by the rail company) in exchange for waiving their right to sue.
What a horrible read for that poor woman. Forcing this over 3k debt seems like HOA saw an opportunity to get rid of her. Since it was Texas it was probably racism HOA mega Karen.
The difference here is govt is giving you money.
FEMA taking your house over $750 sounds ridiculous. The kind if people that believe and are not going to check are not well.
Checking is hard when phones and electricity are out.
Very valid point. I guess I’m confused. I’m assume you have to sign something?

This is a key difference between government programs and corporate self-dealing: the terms are well-known and not hidden in fine print
It’s not that ridiculous. Things like this happen all the time https://www.keranews.org/news/2023-11-21/she-owed-her-mesquite-hoa-3-500-now-shes-losing-the-home-she-owned-for-18-years
