COVID-19 Disaster Relief Programs

Small Business Association Emergency Disaster Loan
SBA provides low-interest disaster loans to businesses of all sizes, private non-profit organizations, homeowners, and renters. 
Businesses that plan on seeking an SBA emergency loan should fill out this form and turn it into TDEMPARecovery@tdem.texas.gov. This form is not required, but is a convenience in clarifying the supporting documentation the state is required to submit to the U.S. Small Business Administration when requesting an Economic Injury Disaster Loan Declaration. This information in any other format would also be acceptable.
When SBA Disaster Loans are available, small businesses will need to apply directly to SBA’s Disaster Assistance page https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/disaster-assistance.
