SACRAMENTO, Calif. –

Low-interest federal disaster loans are now available to certain private nonprofit organizations in Churchill and Storey counties following the amendment to President Trump’s March 27, 2017, major disaster declaration for Public Assistance as a result of severe winter storms, flooding and mudslides that occurred Feb. 5-22, 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 the Nevada counties of Churchill, Douglas (including the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California within the state of Nevada), Elko (including the South Fork Band of Te‑Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone), Humboldt, Storey and Washoe; and the independent city of Carson City.

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. Economic injury assistance is available regardless of whether the private nonprofit suffered any property damage.

The interest rate is 2.5 percent with terms up to 30 years. The filing deadline to return applications for property damage is May 26, 2017. The deadline to return economic injury applications is Dec. 27, 2017.
