San Francisco to Receive $500 Million in Federal Disaster Aid
San Francisco, CA – President Joe Biden has approved $500 million in federal disaster aid for San Francisco and surrounding areas affected by last week’s earthquake. The funding will support infrastructure repairs, housing assistance, and economic recovery for displaced residents and businesses.
“This aid is a lifeline for our city during this challenging time,” said Mayor Carla Alvarez. The funds will prioritize rebuilding critical infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and water systems damaged by the quake.
Small business owners welcomed the announcement, with many relying on financial assistance to reopen. “This will help us get back on our feet,” said Maria Lopez, owner of a restaurant in SoMa that sustained significant damage.
