SBA seeks to make grants under the SBDC Portable Assistance Project to SBDC Lead Centers that provide services and/or develop small business assistance products that are centered on a replicable plan of action to increase small business success and viability in communities suffering economic hardship attributable to the impact of a major disaster in their service area. SBA is particularly interested in collaborative efforts (community, regional, statewide, industry sector, etc.) that may serve as best practices and models of small business assistance in areas suffering from job loss and related economic distress as a result a major disaster. Applicants are encouraged to design and develop innovative programs and services to address the purpose of this Project, and efforts fundedunder this announcement should produce products and methodologies that can be exported to and replicated by SBDCs in other locations nationwide.
