SBA outreach: disaster loans available for San Bernardino County flood damage, outreach center open in Oak Hills
Summary
An SBA public information officer told the Fontana Planning Commission about a federal disaster declaration for Dec. 16–26 flooding in San Bernardino County and described loan programs for businesses and homeowners, an Oak Hills outreach center and application options including sba.gov/disaster.
Ferdinand Dietrichs, a public information officer with the Small Business Administration Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience, briefed the Fontana Planning Commission on Feb. 17 about disaster assistance available for businesses and residents affected by the Dec. 16–26 flooding in San Bernardino County.
Dietrichs said businesses that suffered physical damage or economic injury may apply for SBA disaster loans up to $2,000,000 with fixed 30‑year terms and interest rates "as low as 4 percent." He said homeowners with property damage are eligible for loans up to $500,000 and that homeowners and renters who lost personal property may apply for loans up to $100,000; those loans carry interest rates "as low as 2.875 percent," he said. Dietrichs noted that insurance payouts would offset any SBA loan amount received.
Dietrichs said a disaster outreach center is open at Oak Hills Fire Station 40, Monday–Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., where applicants may seek in‑person assistance. He directed people who cannot attend in person to visit sba.gov/disaster to submit applications. In his remarks he offered to leave fact sheets and flyers with the commission for public distribution.
Dietrichs presented program details and contact options, and urged affected businesses and residents to seek assistance promptly.
