San Bernardino County recently made a number of program adjustments to its COVID Compliant Business Partnership Program to make the program available to even more business owners. Ernest Figueroa has more information…
The San Bernardino County COVID Compliant Business Partnership Program supports our local small businesses by reimbursing and/or offsetting up to $2500 in costs that are directly related to complying with the county’s protocols to be COVID-19 compliant. The program also provides support to all eligible county businesses who apply for the program. The COVID-Compliant program has been expanded to include non-profit organizations that have a storefront or physical space; short-term vacation rentals, home-based businesses, and sole proprietors with no employees. The new application deadline is October 31. More information about how to apply for $2500 in county funds, is available below.
Some of the major revisions to the program include:
- All nonprofits with a storefront or physical space are now be eligible to participate.
- Short Term Rentals (STRs) are now be eligible to participate at a lower level of funding. The financial support is $500 for each STR owner to offset costs of safety improvements and increased sanitization requirements.
- Any additional STR under the same owner is eligible for an additional $250 each
- Sole proprietors with no employees are now eligible for the program funding if they have a retail space or storefront.
- Home-based businesses that service customers would now be eligible. This includes home day-care operators for example.
