We will hold the in-progress applications until the end of May if the situation changes and the SBA re-opens the program. If that should occur, we will notify applicants who had applications […]

This new program is to support financing the costs of lead paint inspection, remediation and abatement in residential rental properties constructed before 1978 to achieve lead-safe status.
