The
New York Forward Loan Fund
(NYFLF) is a new economic recovery loan program aimed at supporting New York State small businesses, nonprofits and small landlords as they reopen after the COVID-19 outbreak and NYS on PAUSE.
The NYFLF targets the state’s small businesses with 20 or fewer full-time equivalent (FTE) employees, nonprofits and small landlords that have seen a loss of revenue or rental income as a result of COVID-19 related social distancing policies and stay-at-home order that have materially impacted their operations.

TCAD Emergency Relief Loan Program
|
|
In response to the profound economic damage COVID-19 has inflicted on local businesses, TCAD created the Emergency Relief Loan Program to provide loans to traded sector businesses (businesses who primarily sell products or services outside Tompkins County). The fund's purpose is to support those businesses in retaining employees, allowing business operations to continue, and to offset losses related to COVID-19.
At this time, TCAD has awarded three-year loans to five local businesses, which will not require repayment for twelve months, to enable those businesses to re-establish their operations.
