Recognizing that some of the hardest hit businesses during this crisis are Black & Brown and Women Owned businesses, many of the new relief efforts are geared to help toward providing relief and support for these businesses. As a Black & Brown or Woman business owner getting your small business M/WBE certified is the first step in qualifying for theses funds. You can do so here. If you need added support or have question about certifying your business, the Office of Economic Development has open office hours every Wednesday from 11am-1pm live on Zoom.

Additionally Black and Brown Business owners should consider. Find out more about the city’s efforts to support black owned businesses here.
