Is There Any Hope for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund?

The Restaurant Revitalization Fund has run out of its last dollars, even with hundreds of thousands of applicants left without funding. From the beginning, our partners at the National Restaurant Association (NRA) have been asking that Congress prepare to replenish the fund, because it was always clear that the initial allotment would not be enough to meet the enormous need for help in the restaurant community. Is there any chance that it will be replenished?
