Community Development Administration (CDA)
The Community Development Administration (CDA) serves as the City of St. Louis’ clearinghouse for federal, state, and local funds. CDA works to implement the Mayor's economic justice agenda by funding a wide range of public and nonprofit entities to provide public services, build affordable housing, combat blight, and conduct various other community development activities.
Information collected will be used to build a citywide housing inventory and help connect landlords with residents in need of housing.
Landlord Inventory Survey
The City of St. Louis Recovery Office, in partnership with the Community Development Administration, is asking landlords to share information about their vacant rental units to support residents impacted by the May 16 tornado.
