There were numerous programs. But the HOAP/GLO programs were different. You had to qualify for FEMA first, which for Harvey, for the FEMA program she got, you had to be a us citizen, own your home, had to live in the home continuously for 6 months prior to the flood, and the home couldn't be used for business. Then for GLO, you had be low income, how low based on household size. Basically 26-55k and your income had to include assets, savings, retirement, child support, and any government funds (tanf, disability, unemployment, etc)
Allegedly, according to the indictment, she didn't qualify for FEMA, or GLO, based on numerous factors. Including in the indictment, but not limited to, where she actually resided, disclosed income, and household size. That's just relating to the house itself. Harvey fraud itself is mentioned, but she isn't charged with because of statue of limitations, however because it relates to the later fraud, is noted in the indictment. Also mentioned are 3 more fraudulent FEMA claims between 2021-2024. Plus the other charges. 20 Felony Counts total.

This sounds like an awful crime. I hope someone post on the outcome of her arrest. I hope she was not able to bail out and disappear.
Newvahner reacted Newvahner : It must be hard waking up and choosing bitterness every day. You seem exhausted from carrying around so much negativity and honestly, you're starting to look a little obsessed. I genuinely hope whatever you're going through gets better because people don't act like this when they're okay. I hope you find the peace you keep trying to take from other people. The truth will be out in good timing!Please keep the forums civil. Gray box info Details+Dispute
Kingwood Woman Indicted for Harvey Fraud and Threatening to Kill Whiste-blower A Kingwood woman has been indicted on 20 federal charges tied to an alleged disaster-relief fraud scheme, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Texas. During the investigation, Poteet allegedly threatened to kill a whistle-blower in an attempt to silence them. She is also accused of assaulting a federal agent and trying to flee during an operation to seize her cell phone. Prosecutors say 56-year-old Sharai Poteet, of Kingwood, is accused of fraudulently securing a newly built $435,000 home in Houston through a HUD Hurricane Harvey recovery program by submitting loan applications that falsely claimed 11 household members. The home was reportedly the largest built through the program at the time. The indictment also alleges Poteet filed three additional fraudulent disaster-relief claims with FEMA for storms between 2021 and 2024. If convicted, she faces up to 30 years for each wire fraud count, up to 20 years for each obstruction charge, eight additional years for assaulting an officer, and mandatory two-year sentences for each aggravated identity theft count. The investigation was conducted by the HUD Office of Inspector General. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Shalimar Addy is prosecuting the case. Authorities emphasize that an indictment is a formal accusation, and Poteet is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
but I'm letting it be known there is a lot of misinformation being spread and a lot of details being left out.
I am so glad that the government is going after fraud cases. So many people were denied any help at all and then there are the cases where people took advantage. Hopefully they will be held accountable.
