On July 7th, the Brevard County Board of Commissioners authorized the use of federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding for operating a short-term economic relief program for small businesses dealing with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This program is expected to provide those local businesses with the opportunity to apply for a one-time only grant – in an amount not to exceed $10,000 – while program funding exists.

If you are interested in applying for this grant, please go to https://www.brevardfl.gov/BrevardCARES/home,

beginning this Monday, July 27th.

Applications will only be accepted during a two-week period, beginning July 27th, so you are advised to apply quickly.

There is also a list of Frequently Asked Questions about the program available on their website.
