SACRAMENTO, Calif. –
Low-interest federal disaster loans are available to Kansas businesses and residents affected by the severe storms and flooding that occurred Aug. 19 – Sept. 11, 2016, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet announced today. SBA acted under its own authority to declare a disaster in response to a request SBA received from Gov. Sam Brownback on Sept. 15, 2016.
The disaster declaration makes SBA assistance available in Butler, Cowley, Harper, Kingman, Sedgwick and Sumner counties in Kansas; and Grant and Kay counties in Oklahoma.
“SBA is strongly committed to providing Kansas with the most effective and customer-focused response possible, and we will be there to provide access to federal disaster loans to help finance recovery for businesses and residents affected by the disaster,” said Contreras-Sweet. “Getting our businesses and communities up and running after a disaster is our highest priority at SBA.”
“Low-interest federal disaster loans are available to businesses of all sizes, most private nonprofit organizations, homeowners and renters whose property was damaged or destroyed by this disaster,” said SBA’s Wichita District Director Wayne Bell. “Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 20, SBA representatives will be on hand at the following Disaster Loan Outreach Center to answer questions about SBA’s disaster loan program, explain the application process and help each individual complete their application,” Bell continued. The center will be open on the days and times indicated below until further notice. No appointment is necessary.
