Some good news for the city of South Pittsburg.
It's been almost a month since flash flooding devastated the town.
The flood did millions of dollars in damage to homes, schools, and roads.
But not the $8.5 million dollar minimum required for government aid.
The city was denied federal and state emergency funds, but now the Tennessee Housing Development Agency has announced a $300,000 dollar grant for the town.
That money will go to help homeowners and renters recover, which is a good thing, because four weeks later, the city is still discovering even more damaged homes.
