The COVID-19 Small Business Assistance Program (SBAP) is designed to address the adverse impacts of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) to the economy, including jobs and businesses. SBAP grants will support small businesses with five or fewer full-time equivalent employees on the current payroll undergoing financial hardship due to a loss or reduction in revenue directly related to COVID-19. Businesses are not expected to pay back this assistance. Awards are based on the availability of CDBG and/or CARES Act CDBG-CV funds.
