Episode 4 – How Federal Disaster Loans Help Homeowners, Renters, Businesses, and Nonprofits Cover their Recovery Costs

This episode looks at federal disaster loans from the Small Business Administration (SBA) as a way to pay for post-earthquake repairs and other costs not covered by insurance—which could include the deductible of an earthquake insurance policy. Corey Williams is a public information officer at the Small Business Administration’s Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is a federal agency that supports U.S. small businesses by providing counseling, capital, and contracting expertise as well as disaster loans. SBA’s disaster assistance program also provides these loans to eligible homeowners and renters. Corey Williams has been with SBA since 2006.
