Utilizing $200,000 in CARES Act funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Plano Neighborhood Services created the Small Business Grant Program to provide emergency grants to businesses in Plano who have been impacted by COVID-19. This emergency funding prevents the closure of businesses with low to moderate income owners and allows businesses to retain low or moderate income employees who would otherwise be laid off.
