Service Highlights:
It is imperative that those who are affected by Hurricane Idalia at least make an application for the Individual Assistance (IA) and Small Business Administration programs even if they do not ultimately go through with it. By not applying, you could jeopardize some ability to make application for future assistance or programs.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) can offer low interest, long term loans for people, nonprofits, and businesses. Even though the name SBA implies businesses, individual household members may still apply. The deadline for individuals is October 30, 2023, and for businesses, May of 2024. They offer loans for the uninsured or the underinsured.
