COVID-19 Resources for Nonprofits, Early Child Care Providers, and Small Businesses

A MESSAGE TO FROM SBA TO SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS We know you are facing challenging times in this current health crisis. The U.S. Small Business Administration is committed to help bring relief to small businesses and nonprofit organizations suffering because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.  On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the CARES Act, which provided additional assistance for small business owners and non-profits, including the opportunity to get    up to a $10,000 Advance on an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL)   . This    Advance    may be available even if your    EIDL    application was declined or is still pending, and    will be forgiven. If you wish to apply for the Advance on your EIDL, please visit    www.SBA.gov/Disaster   as soon as possible to fill out a new, streamlined application. In order to qualify for the Advance, you need to submit this new application even if you previously submitted an EIDL application. Applying for the Advance will not impact the status or slow your existing application. You can sign up  HERE   to get updates from SBA.

On behalf of L.A. Controller Ron Galperin, his Community Engagement Team hopes that you and your NC members are staying healthy and safe in these challenging times. They understand how difficult it can be to comply with the Safer at Home directive as resources are tough to access and social distancing can be an isolating experience for many members of our community.   In light of this, they wanted to reach out and share a few items that the Controller has been working on to help get us all through the pandemic:  Food Access in L.A.: we expanded our map of food pantry locations beyond the City of Los Angeles to the entire County. The Controller’s goal is to help people — especially working and low-income families — access fresh and nutritious food so that they can keep themselves healthy. Access the Food Pantries Across L.A. County Map here.  2019 Tax Extensions: click here for more information about tax deadline extensions and penalty waivers Small Business Microloans: the newly established Small Business Emergency Microloan Program provides financing to strengthen small business enterprises in this time of acute need.

Tour the Maritime Museum Without Leaving Home!

With so many closures and most of us staying close to home, the Museum is pleased to offer a new 360 virtual tour.    Follow this link    and start exploring the exhibits as well as the research library. You can zoom in on specific artifacts and scroll across entire rooms. It's the next best thing to visiting in person!  The 360 Tour was developed by the talented crew at    Select South Bay   , and funded by a grant from the Coastal San Pedro Neighborhood Council. When you've finished your tour, don't forget to explore the    historic photograph collections on line   . New images are added weekly!  The Museum staff and volunteers send their best wishes, and hope you enjoy discovering these new online resources.
