Monroe DRC to become SBA loan center

The Monroe Disaster Recovery Center (DRC), staffed by State and federal specialists, will transition to a Disaster Loan Outreach Center (DLOC) operated by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

The Monroe DRC will cease DRC operations at 6:30 p.m. on January 25. The SBA DLOC will open at 9 a.m., January 30 through February 8.

At the DLOCs, SBA representatives are continuing to meet individually with each applicant to provide assistance in completing their disaster loan application, answer any questions about SBA's disaster loan program, and accept completed disaster loan applications. For the hours of operation and location of your nearest DRC or DLOC, call the SBA customer service center at (800) 659-2955. Anyone not able to visit a DRC or DLOC should call this number for SBA information and assistance or visit www.sba.gov.
