Plush apartments are being given to migrants in Maine, at full taxpayer expense, according to a new report from Savanah Hernandez, for Frontlines Turning Point USA.
In an exclusive report, Hernandez travels to Brunswick, Maine and speaks to residents of apartments that are being provided for up to two years, free of all costs, to migrants. The apartments come fully furnished, including with flatscreen TVs.

“There is a housing crisis going on currently for residents, and these buildings were initially created for Maine residents, and then it was decided that homeless migrants would be living here,” Hernandez explains.
According to a statistic displayed during the video, 79.1% of Maine families were unable to afford a home in 2023.
At current local rates, the apartments being given to migrants would cost between $1800 and $2300 dollars a month, depending on the number of bedrooms.
The average price for a house in Brunswick is over $480,000.
Brunswick county has received large amounts of FEMA funding from its “Shelter and Services” program, which is being used to relocate and house migrants across the US. Over the fiscal years 2023 and 2024, FEMA has allocated a billion dollars for this program.
The video report reveals that Catholic charities are heavily involved in relocating migrants to Maine.
