“NEVER GIVE UP. TODAY IS HARD, TOMORROW WILL BE WORSE, BUT THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW WILL BE SUNSHINE.”
– Jack Ma
Harris County has launched a new Small Business Relief Fund
to provide financial support to micro and small business owners in Harris County. Eligible small business owners may apply for financial support in the form of grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 to advance their recovery from the economic setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Created with funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the Small Business Relief Fund is being administered by LiftFund, a nonprofit community development financial institution.
Business owners are encouraged to visit www.harriscountybusinessrelief.org to learn more about the eligibility guidelines and documents needed to complete the application and begin gathering the proper documentation. This fund is not first-come, first-served program; all completed applications will be reviewed for eligibility and prioritized based on small business impact parameters.
The application period will last two weeks, and eligible small business owners within Harris County (inside or outside the City of Houston) can apply at www.harriscountybusinessrelief.org, beginning Monday, September 20.
