Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, has announced $2,447,371 in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants for Louisiana disaster aid.

“Hurricane Ida battered our state, and many Louisianians are working hard to rebuild from massive flood damage. This $2.4 million will help the Society of St. Vincent De Paul Archdiocesan Council and Xavier University continue serving their communities,” said Kennedy.

The FEMA aid will fund the following:

- $1,400,099 to Xavier University of Louisiana to repair damage that Hurricane Ida caused to five buildings.

- $1,047,272 to the Society of St. Vincent De Paul Archdiocesan Council to replace its clothing distribution center and food and furniture distribution center due to Hurricane Ida damage.
