Maui Wildfires Disaster Case Management Program (DR-4724-HI)

Disaster Services Corporation is pleased to announce a noteworthy achievement in our Disaster Case Management Program (DCMP). We are proud to share that we have secured the contract for the Maui Wildfire Disaster Case Management program, reflecting our commitment to excellence in disaster case management services. In collaboration with the Department of Human Services (DHS), Disaster Services Corporation, St. Vincent DePaul, brings its expertise to elevate and strengthen our services, ensuring enhanced support for survivors of disasters.

What is the DHS Disaster Case Management Program?

The DHS DCMP is a time-limited Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-funded initiative designed to connect survivors of disasters with specially trained case managers. These case managers assess and address the unique needs of each survivor household, developing a personalized disaster recovery plan. The program works tirelessly to connect survivors with referrals for resources, identify decision-making priorities, and provide guidance and tools for a successful recovery.

Expanding Services for Wildfire Survivors

The DHS DCMP is an expansion of the current interim DCMP. The $17.2M FEMA grant will fund a comprehensive program, including 36 Disaster Case Managers (DCMs) across the four CBOs. These DCMs will serve as survivors' "quarterback" for the next 2-5 years, assisting them in developing unique and comprehensive recovery plans.
