COVID-19 Relief and Assistance

COVID-19 Small Business Relief Assistance

The Small Business Stabilization Program (SBSP) is designed to promote economic stability by providing immediate relief in the form of a one-time forgivable loan for essential operating expenses to small businesses negatively impacted by COVID-19.

Applicants must complete and submit a funding application to Self-Help Enterprises(SHE). Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-eligible-served basis. All required supporting documentation MUST be submitted with a completed application in order to be considered for CDBG-CV funding. Applicants will be notified of their application’s approval or rejection and funding amount, by Self-Help Enterprises staff. Amount of funding awarded to a business will be based on need. Once program funding is exhausted, other qualified applicants will be placed on a waiting list if/when additional funds become available.
