The U.S. Small Business Administration issued an amendment to the Presidential declaration of a major disaster in Louisiana due to Hurricane Laura, which took place from August 22 to August 27, 2020. This amendment, dated January 13, 2021, adds Richland Parish to the list of areas affected by the disaster, specifically for Public Assistance for Private Non-Profit organizations. The deadline for physical loan applications was November 4, 2020, while the deadline for Economic Injury Disaster Loan applications is June 7, 2021. All other details in the initial declaration remain unchanged.
Simple Explanation
