LACEY, Wash. -- Federal and state disaster officials announced today that the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) will open a Disaster Loan Outreach Center (DLOC) on Monday, January 14, at 9:00 a.m. The DLOC will be located at:

The DLOC will be open Monday through Wednesday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. until further notice.
At the DLOC, SBA representatives will provide individuals and business owners with face-to-face service in completing their loan applications, answering questions about SBA's loan program, and explaining how an SBA disaster loan can help pay for their disaster losses. Low interest disaster loans from SBA are available to homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes and private, non-profit organizations. Disaster loans from SBA are the primary source of funds for repairing and rebuilding disaster damaged private property.
Informational materials are also available at the DLOCs on Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) Individual and Household Program and the Hazard Mitigation Program.
