The Federal Emergency Management Agency has distributed or approved nearly $ 1 million in grants to Tennessee families affected by the severe storms in April. FEMA spokesman Randy Welch said that the grants include $538,519 for home repairs or for homes to rent which were typically awarded to families with no insurance. An additional $392,901 in grants went to families with other needs, such as replacing furniture or vehicles, as well as covering medical, dental and funeral expenses.
