Robin Walters, CCSM case manager is providing disaster case management services to those individuals and families affected by the floods. Over 275 applications were filed with FEMA and Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri received requests to hire a case manager to assist families in the six county region. The CCSM case manager will be working in Texas, Shannon, Ripley, Reynolds, Howell and Carter counties.
