Disaster loan assistance centers open in Chicago area in wake of June tornadoes, severe storms
Help is on the way for families and business owners impacted by tornadoes and other severe storms in Illinois last month.
The U.S. Small Business Administration on Wednesday opened centers in Chicago, the suburbs, and downstate, where people get help applying for low-interest loans of up to $500,000 to cover losses not covered by insurance.
The money is available for damage caused by storms on June 10, June 11, and June 17.
The Chicago locations are at the Pullman Branch Public Library at 11001 S. Indiana Av. and the Thurgood Marshall Branch Public Library at 7506 S. Racine Av.
