Program details

How it works

The automated system calls the resident’s home seven days a week to make sure they are okay. If there is no answer after three attempts, the department dispatches an emergency vehicle to check on the person’s well-being.

What the money covers

This is a free service rather than a repair grant. It is meant to improve safety and emergency response confidence for vulnerable residents.

How to request

The page says to contact 314-533-3406 for more information.

Timing and deadlines
