The SBA extended the application date for the Community Navigator Pilot Program from July 12, 2021, to July 23, 2021, and anticipates making award decisions by September 2021. Established by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the community navigator approach will reach our nation's smallest businesses, with a priority focus on those owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, as well as women and veterans. The Biden-Harris Administration has made delivering equitable relief to hard-hit small businesses a top priority and will continue to take steps to ensure equitable distribution of relief.
The Community Navigator Program will have a significant impact in revitalizing small businesses through a Hub and Spoke "Navigator" featuring a lead "Hub" – at the center of a network of "Spoke" organizations that deploy trusted community advocates to work with small businesses during recovery. These networks leverage the business development expertise of the central hub organization and the community credibility of spoke organizations to better connect critical resources with small businesses, with the priority focus on those owned by women, veterans, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals........Learn more

Levi Britton is an indie/folk/rock artist who hails from Traverse City, Michigan. Growing up around music sparked his drive to make it his profession. At age 20, Levi moved to Chicago, playing down in the subways, Potbelly restaurants, and any gig he could find. Eventually, Britton co-founded his band, Down The Line, which went on to release five albums and toured the country for ten years with artists such as The Gin Blossoms, Pat Benatar, Peter Frampton, America, Lighthouse, and others.
In 2011, Levi and Down The Line bandmate Dan Myers, formed Stolen Silver, releasing two albums – most recently in June 2014. Stolen Silver has toured with actor Gary Sinise and The Lieutenant Dan Band, playing stadiums and military bases in support of U.S. troops and their families.
In addition to playing with Stolen Silver, Levi launched a solo career at a whole new level in 2014. After years of fans clamoring for a solo project, Levi hit the studio to record all-new, original music. His first solo record, Inside, is a blend of folk, indie-rock, and soul with intricate, tasty vocals and masterful instrumentation.
