CLARIFICATION ON SPECIAL RECYCLING & WASTE PROGRAMS
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act)
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) includes $2+ trillion in funding including: immediate cash relief for individual citizens; a broad lending program for small business; and, targeted relief for hard-hit industries. 

Struggling to get started?  The following questions might help point you in the right direction. Do you need:
  • Capital to cover the cost of retaining employees? Then the Paycheck Protection Program might be right for you.
  • A quick infusion of a smaller amount of cash to cover you right now? You might want to look into an Emergency Economic Injury Grant.
  • To ease your fears about keeping up with payments on your current or potential SBA loan? The Small Business Debt Relief Program could help.
  • Just some quality, free counseling to help you navigate this uncertain economic time? The resource partners might be your best bet.
