Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) Program Reopens for Hotels: AHLA applauds the Small Business Administration (SBA)'s reopening of the
EIDL and EIDL Advance program portal yesterday to non-agriculture industries, including hotels. This opens another avenue of necessary economic relief for hoteliers managing the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on their business.
We need your help! AHLA continues to request swift action by the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve to help thousands of small business hotel owners who are struggling to make debt service payments on their mortgages, including commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) debt to keep their doors open and avoid foreclosure. We are urging them to provide desperately needed relief to the commercial real estate market, including hotels.
Please ask your Member of Congress to join this letter now!
