Release Date: 
April 6, 2022 

FRANKFORT, KY. – The U.S. Small Business Administration has five
Business Recovery Centers open until APRIL 29 to assist tornado
survivors with their loan applications.

Survivors who receive a letter from FEMA referring them to the SBA
should apply for a loan as soon as possible. SBA loans are not just
for businesses. Long-term, low-interest loans are available to
homeowners and renters as well. If approved, there is no obligation to
accept the loan. Even if survivors think they won’t qualify for a
loan, they should complete the loan application and return it anyway.

Those who are turned down for a loan or receive a loan that won’t
cover their needs may be referred back to FEMA for additional
assistance. A FEMA program called Other Needs Assistance provides
financial help for disaster-related necessary expenses and serious
needs that are not covered by insurance or provided by any other
source.

The locations of the business recovery centers are:

	* GRAVES COUNTY: Trace Creek Baptist Church, 3577 State Route 131,
Mayfield, KY 42066  

 	* Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CDT Monday to Saturday.
