Small Business Assistance and Personal Protective Equipment Grant Programs

To mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on San Joaquin County businesses, non-profits, and their employees, the County of San Joaquin is operating three cash grant programs to assist small businesses and non-profits with up to 250 employees and a separate grant program for directly obtaining Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) supplies.

The objective of these grant programs is to offer immediate financial assistance to small businesses and non-profits located in the boundaries of San Joaquin County, in both the unincorporated and incorporated portions of the County, to address unfunded expenses resulting from impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus is reimbursement for COVID-19 related expenses realized.
