Relief is in sight but home and small business owners – even renters and non-profit organizations – may not know about it.
Westchester County residents and small business owners who suffered damage as a result of last July’s storms can still apply for low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The first deadline for applications is December 1.
The SBA last month declared New York State – including Yonkers, Mt. Vernon and certain areas in the southern Westchester – a disaster area as a result of the severe storms, straight-line winds and flooding that occurred on July 6 and 7. This disaster declaration by the SBA makes Westchester County residents and businesses in those areas hit by the storm eligible for assistance with low-interest loans.
For more information, Westchester County residents and businesses can call the SBA Disaster Assistance Customer Service Center at (800) 659-2955 or email them at disastercustomer@sba.gov and visit www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance
