TYLER, Texas ( KETK ) — The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) approved Gov. Greg Abbott’s request for a disaster declaration for Texas communities affected by severe weather including many portions of East Texas.
The Trinity Fire and Rescue responded to multiple storm related calls including homes destroyed by a tornado and multiple calls of people trapped in flooded cars and houses.
“ For Texans who have been impacted by storms and flooding last month , this SBA disaster declaration will help them access the crucial financial assistance they need to recover and rebuild,” Abbott said. “Impacted Texans will be able to qualify for low-interest loans so they can begin to rebuild their homes and businesses that sustained storm damage.”
The SBA granted access to Home Disaster Loans, Business Physical Disaster Loans and Economic Injury Disaster Loan to provide homeowners, renters and businesses affected by the severe weather with low-interest loans.
People can apply online and download applications on the SBA website . Applicants can also call SBA’s customer service center at 800-659-2955 or email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov for more information in disaster assistance.
“I thank the Texas Division of Emergency Management for working with our federal partners to ensure Texans have the resources and assistance they need to move forward,” Abbott said.
