Small Business Assistance Deadline Coming Up

We wanted to share some important information regarding federal assistance for those affected by the excessive rain that occurred in 2023 between July 13 and September 1.

If you own or operate a small business, small agricultural cooperative, or a private non profit organization in Michigan that was affected by the rains, you may be eligible for federal working capital loans.

The Small Business Administration’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan program is available to eligible farm-related and nonfarm-related entities that suffered financial losses as a direct result of this disaster.

In our congressional district, residents in Shiawasee County and Genesee County are eligible. Elsewhere in the state, residents in the following counties are eligible: Bay, Gratiot, Huron, Lapeer, Midland, Saginaw, Sanilac, Shiawassee, St. Clair, and Tuscola.

The filing deadline for loans is October 15, 2024. Click here for more information about eligibility and how to apply.
