The City of St. Louis has secured $2.9 million in federal funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to bolster disaster case management services for residents impacted by the tornado that struck on May 16, 2025.
This grant is designated to provide crucial support to approximately 1,200 households navigating the complexities of recovery following the severe weather event. The funding will be utilized to employ 10 case managers who will be active through June 2027.
