Neighbors,
Our hospitality, retail and entertainment industries have been
among the hardest hit during the COVID-19 recession, thousands of
our residents are unemployed or under-employed. In July, I
introduced the Business Support Grant Emergency Amendment Act of 2020.
The measure has now been funded and announced under the Bridge
Fund. The Bridge Fund is an investment in businesses and
workers grappling with the COVID-19 public health emergency in the
hospitality, entertainment, and retail industries. Funds are
being distributed by way of four different programs—$35M to
restaurants, $30M to hotels, $20M to entertainment, and $15M to
retail. Applications for Hotels and restaurants are available now
at https://coronavirus.dc.gov/bridgefund. Applications for the
entertainment and retail industry will be open by December
22nd.
The District's independently owned small businesses and the workers
they employ need our support as we continue to navigate our way
through the various challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the holiday season consider shopping with our small business
community. Looking for a list of DC small businesses take a
look at the link here.
In service,
Kenyan
