THIBODAUX, La. — ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Small Business Hurricane Ida Resilience Fund has launched a second round to provide assistance for businesses still suffering the impacts of Hurricane Ida.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Business grants of $5,000 are available as gap funding to solve a specific issue faced by the business. With $75,000 in total funds available, only 15 businesses that meet all criteria will be considered based on needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the scale of the issues facing the Bayou Region community, ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ will provide limited assistance based on keeping the most impacted businesses solvent until a more permanent solution is found.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a little over a year since Hurricane Ida made landfall. Many businesses are still making up for the losses. Our goal is to help the community that we serve recover,\u201d Jimmy Nguyen, assistant director of Louisiana Small Business Development Center at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to continue finding ways to provide the necessary resources to those in need. This could not have been achieved without the efforts and donations provided by Chevron, ÐÓ°É´«Ã½, and the Louisiana Small Business Development Center. I know how resilient our community is and we will definitely bounce back.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
