Special COVID-19 Message to our Small Business Community
We know that many of our small business partners are being impacted by local and statewide orders for residents to stay home and for many companies to stop or change their operations. Metropolitan’s Business Outreach staff has been, and will continue to, work closely with organizations and government agencies to identify those resources and information about financial assistance and other programs that can assist small businesses in our communities during this challenging time. If we can be of assistance, please contact businessoutreach@mwdh2o.com.
The California State Treasurer's Office has a small business loan program with special disaster assistance that is used extensively by the CDFI community:
