Although the SBA announced that it has exhausted funds for its disaster assistance loan program, individuals and small businesses are encouraged to continue to apply for loans. “We know that swift financial relief can help communities recover quickly to stabilize local economies,” said Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman. “While we await Congress to provide much-needed funding, we strongly encourage eligible businesses and households to apply for SBA disaster loans. SBA will continue to support homeowners, renters, businesses and nonprofits in processing their applications to ensure they receive assistance quickly once funds are replenished.” Virginia SBDC Helene Recovery information - https://lnkd.in/eMGy8GSQ   Webinar – Q&A about Disaster Resources - https://lnkd.in/ecvViGaD   Webinar -- Doing Business with FEMA-General Information Session - https://lnkd.in/eqBGZuYr   Small businesses can contact the SBDC for assistance with navigating loans and other resources: https://lnkd.in/gXUf3nZ
