Flood Assistance for July 10th Storm

The US Small Business Association has declared the flash flooding that affected many parts of Somerville and Cambridge on July 10th a disaster. This declaration allows eligible parties to apply for low interest loans in order to recover from physical damage and economic injury caused by the flooding. Applications for a physical damage loan are due by September 27, 2010, and applications for an economic injury loan are due on April 27, 2011.

A disaster loan outreach center is open at the following location:
Somerville High School (Atrium at the Field House)

Somerville, MA 02143

It will be open at the following times:
Friday July 30, 2010 from 9:00AM to 5:30PM
