The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is offering this grant opportunity to support the development of crucial portable assistance programs. This initiative is specifically designed for existing Small Business Development Center (SBDC) recipient organizations. The core purpose of this grant is to foster the start-up and ensure the long-term sustainability of small business concerns within communities that have become economically challenged. These challenging conditions typically arise from significant job losses or widespread small business instability, often due to the downsizing or closure of major business or government facilities. By providing targeted support, this program aims to rebuild economic vitality and enhance resilience in affected areas.
