Award Description: Recovery funds are going to support the Central Dallas Ministries emergency support programs and also upscale the current neighborhood revitalization program. Emergency support programs include providing food to families, hot meals to homeless individuals and case management services to individuals. The revitalization program intensely helps residents in a 10 block area of South Dallas Texas.

Additionally, jobs will be created from home construction, repair, weatherization, in energy-efficiency upgrades.
