COVID -19 County Relief Block Grant Program

The  COVID-19 County Relief Block Grant Program  makes $625M available to, among other purposes, offset the cost of direct county COVID-19 response, assist municipalities with COVID-19 response and planning efforts, fund nonprofit assistance programs, deploy broadband to unserved or underserved areas and support CEDOs, LDDs, IRCs, SBDCs and EDCs for costs related to assisting businesses during the COVID-19 disaster emergency.
 
Only county governments not directly funded by the federal government are eligible to receive the COVID-19 County Block Grant Program funding through DCED. There are 60 out of 67 PA counties that meet this criteria. Because DCED is only managing the grants to counties, inquiries by entities other than eligible counties should be directed to the offices of the appropriate county commissioners.  
Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program Reopens

To further meet the needs of U.S. small businesses and non-profits, the U.S. Small Business Administration reopened the  Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) and EIDL Advance program portal   to all eligible applicants experiencing economic impacts due to COVID-19 today.

“The SBA is strongly committed to working around the clock, providing dedicated emergency assistance to the small businesses and non-profits that are facing economic disruption due to the COVID-19 impact. With the reopening of the EIDL assistance and EIDL Advance application portal to all new applicants, additional small businesses and non-profits will be able to receive these long-term, low interest loans and emergency grants – reducing the economic impacts for their businesses, employees and communities they support,” said SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza. “Since EIDL assistance due to the pandemic first became available to small businesses located in every state and territory, SBA has worked to provide the greatest amount of emergency economic relief possible. To meet the unprecedented need, the SBA has made numerous improvements to the application and loan closing process, including deploying new technology and automated tools.”
