NAPA COUNTY Mondays - Fridays, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. |
Even though the deadline to apply for a loan for property damage has passed, small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size still have until July 12, 2018, to apply for an economic injury disaster loan to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. Economic injury assistance is available to help meet financial obligations and operating expenses which could have been met had the disaster not occurred, regardless of whether the business suffered any property damage.
