Dear CCEDA Family and Friends,

CCEDA is watching all newscasts, and is connected to regular meetings and conference calls to collect new information and get development updates in order to inform ourselves and act accordingly.
The more we work together the better we serve our communities, the better will we manage, and the better we will, together, respond to the threat of this global pandemic.
Below is a list of resources that may help your nonprofit organization during this time. We will continue to update this list as we find more resources.

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)
The Paycheck Protection Program is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll.
SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities.
The Paycheck Protection Program will be available through June 30, 2020.
The loan will be fully forgiven if the funds are used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities (due to likely high subscription, at least 75% of the forgiven amount must have been used for payroll). Loan payments will also be deferred for six months. No collateral or personal guarantees are required. Neither the government nor lenders will charge small businesses any fees.
Forgiveness is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels. Forgiveness will be reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages decrease.
This loan has a maturity of 2 years and an interest rate of .5%.
If you wish to begin preparing your application, you can download a sample form to see the information that will be requested from you.

COMMERCIAL EVICTIONS
- Because of the extraordinary economic impacts of COVID-19, on 3/17/20 Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-28-20 specifically authorizing local governments to freeze evictions on tenants affected by COVID-19. As a result, over 70 counties and cities quickly enacted a patchwork of local commercial and/or residential "eviction moratoriums“
- Although the statewide eviction moratorium (Executive Order N-37-20) applies everywhere in California, it applies only to residential tenants. Local governments have already enacted various eviction moratoriums covering both residential and commercial tenants. If a local moratorium provides greater protections-or protections for commercial tenants-the local moratorium applies. This local ordinance chart is updated frequently, but if your city or county is not listed check your local government web pages for the most recent information.
