SBA Disaster Assistance | May 2020 Flood
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering low-interest disaster loans in response to the May 26th & 27th flood that affected several areas including the City of Doral. Businesses of all sizes, Private Non-Profit organizations, Homeowners and Renters and with physical or economic damages stemming from this disaster, are encouraged NOT to wait for a response from insurance claims, and apply as they may be eligible for Federal Disaster Assistance from SBA.
IMPORTANT: The filing deadline to return applications for physical property damage is October 13th, 2020. The deadline to return economic injury applications is May 13th, 2021. There are no fees to apply for, or withdraw from SBA disaster assistance, nor is there an obligation for an applicant to take a loan if approved. By submitting an application, survivors secure access to possible financing they can use as part of their recovery efforts.
