Bank of America to Invest $100M in Deposits to Minority-Owned Banks

Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Authority Offering $3M to Help Grow Minority-Owned Businesses
Pittsburgh is offering up to $3 million to help grow minority businesses through the city's Urban Redevelopment Authority. Despite a 30% growth in Black businesses from pre-pandemic levels in the past two years, many still struggle with things like access to capital and make up less than 5% (2.4%) of all U.S. businesses. The Minority Business Recovery & Growth Loan Fund provides access to capital to existing businesses in Pittsburgh.

Saginaw, MI to Spend $5M in ARPA Funding for Housing and Blight Elimination

New Program in Dayton, OH to Invest $7M in New, Expanding Small Businesses Throughout Commercial Corridors
The Dayton City Commission approved the creation of the First Floor Fund (FFF) as one of Dayton's first investments from its nearly $140 million Dayton Recovery Fund.

U.S. Has Sent $8.28B in Pandemic Funds to Local Lenders
Roughly $8.28 billion in relief funds have been disbursed to 162 community financial institutions across the country, through Treasury's Emergency Capital Investment Program. The funding regime is one of several pandemic relief programs meant to support community financial institutions — which provide loans, grants, and other assistance to small and minority-owned businesses that have difficulty getting funding from traditional banks.

Southern California Banks Awarded $330M for Small Business Loans, Support
Six Southern California financial institutions were named Wednesday recipients of nearly $330 million in federal funds aimed at providing loans and other assistance to small and minority-owned businesses. The awards of Emergency Capital Investment Program funds were part of $671 million doled out to 10 institutions across California, and nearly $9 billion nationally, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

FEMA Establishes Revolving Loan Fund for Local Resilience Projects
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that it would release a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Safeguarding Tomorrow Revolving Loan Fund program before the end of the year. The Safeguarding Tomorrow through Ongoing Risk Mitigation (STORM) Act became law on Jan. 1, 2021, and authorizes FEMA to provide capitalization grants to states, eligible federally recognized tribes, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia to establish revolving loan funds that provide hazard mitigation assistance for local governments to reduce risks from natural hazards and disasters.
