Disaster Relief
Should those we are called to serve face a significant natural disaster caused by a flood or tornado – Catholic Charities is here to provide vital support.
For many years, Catholic Charities of St. Louis has been a leader within the Archdiocese of St. Louis in helping people recover after they have experienced the effects of a disaster on their daily lives. We do this through a process called Natural Disaster Case Management, where we help people address the disaster-related unmet needs that still exist as they work to recover.
In natural disaster case management we are able to address:
- Immediate needs and long-term needs
- Natural Disaster related Home Repair
- Addressing needs of lost furniture or home items
- Connecting to resources in the community
- Making referrals to address issues that were present before a disaster
- Family Needs
There are a few areas that we are unable to help:
- Repairs to homes with deferred maintenance issues
- First and last month’s rent
- Mortgage payments
- Utility assistance
Please reach out and someone will be in touch with you about how we may be able to help address your Natural Disaster related needs.
