Disaster Loan Outreach Center in L.A. County closes in three days
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is operating a Disaster Loan Outreach Center in Los Angeles County, offering in-person support until Wednesday, June 5, 2024. Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger issued the following statement today, commenting on the disaster loans offered to Los Angeles County residents and business owners by the U.S. SBA:
“The disaster loans offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration are important resources for anyone that has suffered property losses in Los Angeles County due to a declared emergency. The region I represent–North County–has been greatly impacted by winter storms, flooding, and mudslides. I want constituents to access these low-interest loans, which are the first step in helping communities get back on their feet. It is my hope that these loans are widely used by homeowners, businesses, and nonprofits who can use a helping hand.”
