City and County staff will work with the SBA to identify a location for a Disaster Loan Outreach Center where residents can apply for low interest loans assisting with recovery, according to a state press release.
The DLOC will remain open for 30 days after it is activated. Thus far, the City and County have identified more than 200 homes that have been affected by the flooding on May 25.
Flood victims can speak with an SBA Loan officer to determine the amount of the loan. The loans will vary by individual, the release stated.
Residents can still contact 3-1-1 to report any flood damage to their homes so they receive proper resources.
