It also plans to award another $5 million in federal money to nonprofits and contractors for home repair services. https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/government-politics/st-louis-ramps-up-home-repair-program-amid-overwhelming-need/article_1aa0fd4c-405c-11ee-a241-cbd6ee8fa27d.html#:~:text=Armed%20with%20%2415%20million%20in,dwindling%20amount%20of%20federal%20dollars.
