| Gov. Tony Evers last month announced that federal disaster loans were made available through the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and encouraged Wisconsinites and local businesses affected by severe weather in August to apply. The governor is once again encouraging those who have been affected to apply for the federal disaster loans from the SBA, which will be available for Wisconsinites and businesses impacted by devastating storms that occurred Aug. 9 through Aug. 12, 2025, resulting in tens of millions of dollars in damage.
Please note that the disaster loan offerings through the SBA are complementary to and separate from Individual Assistance programs offered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Gov. Evers last month announced he had secured approval of a federal disaster declaration, unlocking nearly $30 million to help Wisconsin families and businesses rebuild and recover after extreme weather caused tens of millions of dollars in damage. Wisconsinites can learn more about Individual Assistance support through FEMA and how to apply in the governor’s press release announcement last week here. Businesses and residents in Milwaukee, Washington, and Waukesha counties may be eligible for physical damage and economic injury assistance through SBA, while businesses in Dodge, Fond du Lac, Jefferson, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, and Walworth counties may be eligible for economic injury assistance. Eligible applicants may apply for the following SBA disaster loans:
Residents and business owners are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to begin the recovery process. |
