Small Business Emergency Microloans

The City of Los Angeles created the Small Business Emergency Microloan Program in March 2020 to distribute $11 million to local businesses that are not eligible for federal CARES Act funds. L.A. Controller Ron Galperin, in coordination with Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWDD), created a Microloan Tracker to ensure public accountability and give Angelenos access to up-to-date information on how the City is supporting the local economy. Use this dataset to find microloan recipients or visit https://lacontroller.org/data-stories-and-maps/microloans/ to view a map of microloan recipients.
