SACRAMENTO, Calif. –

Low-interest federal disaster loans are now available to certain private nonprofit organizations in the additional counties of Rice and Russell following the amendment to President Trump’s Feb. 24, 2017, major disaster declaration for Public Assistance as a result of the severe winter storm that occurred Jan. 13-16, 2017, announced Administrator Linda McMahon of the U.S. Small Business Administration. Private nonprofits that provide essential services of a governmental nature are eligible for assistance.

SBA disaster assistance is available in Barton, Clark, Comanche, Edwards, Ellsworth, Ford, Hodgeman, Jewell, Kiowa, Meade, Ness, Pawnee, Pratt, Rice, Rush, Russell, Seward, Sheridan, Stafford and Trego counties in Kansas.

SBA may lend private nonprofits up to $2 million to repair or replace damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory and other business assets. SBA can also lend additional funds to help with the cost of improvements to protect, prevent or minimize the same type of disaster damage from occurring in the future.

For certain private nonprofit organizations of any size, SBA also offers Economic Injury Disaster Loans to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster. Economic Injury Disaster Loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that cannot be paid because of the disaster’s impact.
