SBA loans available for Hurricane Nicole victims
Residents, businesses, nonprofit organizations and homeowner associations impacted by Hurricane Nicole may apply for a loan through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Loans are available to assist with physical property damage and economic injury.
Currently, disaster loans are available for those impacted by Hurricanes Ian and Nicole. If affected by both storms, an application must be separately submitted. The application deadline by storm and type of loan is as follows:
- Hurricane Ian- Physical Property Damage: Jan. 12, 2023
- Hurricane Ian- Economic Injury: June 29, 2023
- Hurricane Nicole- Physical Property Damage: Feb. 13, 2023
- Hurricane Nicole- Economic Injury: Sept. 13, 2023
The 12-month deferred payments with zero interest accruing during the loan’s first year apply equally to both Hurricanes Ian and Nicole’s loans.
