com/index. php/about-ewdd/contact-ewdd Applicants will be reviewed, scored and prioritized using criteria determined by the City and County of Los Angeles to ensure funds go to businesses most impacted by the windstorm and wildfires.
Eligible applicants will be prioritized according to the impact they incurred because of the emergency disaster, starting with brick-and-mortar businesses and nonprofits in the fire or evacuation zone that had their locations fully destroyed. Partially destroyed businesses and those that only incurred a loss in revenue will be considered thereafter.
A percentage of funding is set aside for home-based businesses located in the fire or evacuation zones and independent contractors operating in the fire or evacuation zones. If there are more eligible applicants with the same score than grants available, grantees will be chosen through a lottery system.
All applications submitted by the application closing date will receive equal consideration with no additional priority given to those that apply first. Grant funds will be provided to selected applicants via direct deposit. Individual business owners will only be able to receive one small business grant even if multiple businesses were impacted.
