Money for Small Business:
How to apply for PPP. Act quickly.

The Department of Economic and Workforce Development is committed to ensuring Baltimore County’s business community is up to date on all local, state, and federal resources available to assist and ensure business continuity during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The United States Treasury and the United States Small Business Administration offer programs to assist America’s businesses to continue operations in disaster and emergency situations.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act allocated $350 billion to help small businesses keep workers employed amid the pandemic and economic downturn. Known as the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the initiative provides 100% federally guaranteed loans to small businesses.

WHAT IS PPP?  These are loans which may be forgiven under certain conditions.    Initial guidelines have been released by the US Treasury specifically for businesses.

HOW TO APPLY FOR PPP?   Apply through the banks and other lenders.   Businesses can apply through any existing SBA 7(a) lender or through any federally insured depository institution, federally insured credit union, or Farm Credit System institution that is participating. Other lenders will join and enroll in the SBA program.

WHERE DO I FIND A PPP LENDER?   You should consult with your local lender or search this list: Find lender

WHO CAN APPLY FOR PPP?  Most small businesses and non-profits in Baltimore County are eligible.  A Baltimore County entity is eligible if you are:
• A small business with fewer than 500 employees
• A small business that otherwise meets the SBA’s size standard
• A 501(c)(3) with fewer than 500 employees
• An individual who operates as a sole proprietor
• An individual who operates as an independent contractor
• An individual who is self-employed who regularly carries on any trade or business
• A Tribal business concern that meets the SBA size standard
• A 501(c)(19) Veterans Organization that meets the SBA size standard
WHEN TO APPLY?  The program is open until June 30, 2020. However, we advise that you APPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE given the loan cap.

We also encourage you to regularly visit Baltimore County’s business and employee assistance website to learn about the most up-to-date resources that are available.
For questions or assistance, we are available via email at businesshelp@baltimorecountymd.gov or by phone at 410-887-8000 or take our COVID business impact survey.   When you email or call us, please share your contact info, or so that we can keep you informed as new business resources roll out.

LifeBridge Health Seeks Volunteers

LifeBridge Health seeks volunteers to help make masks for health care providers, using material and equipment donated by Under Armour. Assistance is needed over the weekend and going forward at a location near Northwest Hospital in Randallstown. Volunteers with or without sewing experience are needed and will receive training.
Volunteers will be asked to work for just a few hours, have their temperature taken, and be provided a face mask and gloves. Employees from across LifeBridge are working here, but further help is needed.

Thank you for helping during this health crisis impacting all of our communities!

A Message From Our Non-Profit Member Student Support Network

Dear Family, Friends and Neighbors,

We are taking the liberty of reaching out to all of you and ask for your help – our students in poverty attending Baltimore County Public Schools and their families are also running out of essential supplies that are not paid for by food assistance programs.

The inability to wash one’s body or clothing or dishes, or to not have diapers or feminine care supplies, are additional stresses they now face in addition to hunger and food insecurity.  These items are critical for general health and well-being, especially now.

Yara Cheikh has kindly agreed to have her house be a drop-off point for these essential supplies, which will then be distributed along with food at our Student Support Network distribution events.

If you have already donated, thank you so much! 

If you would like to donate, you can:

  1. Drop off essentials at Yara’s house, Yara Cheikh, 525 St. Francis Rd., Towson, MD 21286-1327 – the attached photo shows the green cooler in front of her door for drop-offs – or you can place them on the black bench next to the cooler.  Note: volunteering to deliver items to a non-profit is one of the activities excluded from Governor Hogan’s order on 3-30-2020
  2. Order online and mail supplies to Yara at the address above.

List of items needed (we know some are hard to find but are trying…)

 

Bar soap
Laundry Detergent, including pods
Dish detergent
Toilet paper
Paper towels
Shampoo/Body Wash
Toothpaste and toothbrushes
Deodorant (men and women)
Feminine care supplies, tampons, pads
Diapers

Employees on the Front Lines Will Receive Additional Compensation During COVID-19 Pandemic

In recognition of the critical role first responders and other essential public-facing employees are playing in the County’s efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, County Executive Johnny Olszewski today announced an essential pay program for those County employees.

“Our public-facing employees are on the front lines of this crisis, and their extraordinary efforts deserve recognition and compensation,” Olszewski said. “I know I speak for all of Baltimore County when I say we are incredibly grateful for their dedication to keeping our communities safe and healthy during this challenging time.”

All first responders and essential public-facing employees are eligible for additional pay under the new program. For these employees, essential pay will be $200 per two-week pay period for the duration of the County Executive’s Declaration of Emergency, or up to five pay periods and $1,000.

First responders and essential public-facing employees will include, but are not limited to, police, fire, corrections, 911 center employees, and certain workers in Health and Human Services, Public Works, Aging, and Recreation and Parks.
Some other employees performing mission-critical functions who are unable to telework will be eligible for essential pay of $100 per pay-period for the duration of the County Executive’s Declaration of Emergency or up to five pay periods and $500.

The essential pay program is the latest step in the County’s efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. For additional information, visit the COVID-19 Coronavirus Updates and Guidance page.
