<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari"">Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari"">Travel Oregon was on a call with US Travel late this morning and was provided an update on federal CAREs Act programs for small businesses.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari"">US Travel confirmed that the
<a href="https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/coronavirus-relief-options/paycheck-protection-program-ppp">
Payroll Protection Program</a> (PPP) opened today (April 3) through the US Small Business Administration (SBA) and that funding for the program was capped at $349B nationally. They advised that if businesses want to participate in the program, that they fill
out the paper work as soon as possible and work with approved lenders to ensure their loan application is processed.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari"">Travel Oregon also learned that
<a href="https://www.sba.gov/funding-programs/loans/coronavirus-relief-options/economic-injury-disaster-loan-emergency-advance">
Economic Disaster Injury Loans</a> should be utilized as well as it is possible to apply for these funds directly through SBA (it is not necessary to go to a SBA lending bank like the PPP). Businesses are able to participate in both the EDIL and PPP*. Make
sure to do your research online to determine which program is best for your business or if you should participate in both programs.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari"">*501c6 businesses are NOT currently eligible for PPP. US Travel is aware of this challenge and is talking to federal leadership about this.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari"">Business Oregon has also launched a Small Business Resource Navigator webtool to help businesses access information. Find that tool
<a href="https://www.oregon4biz.com/Coronavirus-Information/">here</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Adobe Devanagari"">Please let me know if you have any questions. Yours in partnership.
