LA County To Launch Grant Program To Help Restaurants

LOS ANGELES — In an effort to assist restaurants affected by the COVID-19 restrictions, Los Angeles County will launch the Keep LA County Dining Grant Program at 12 a.m. Dec. 3.

The Keep LA County Dining Grant will provide $30,000 to use as working capital for employee payroll expenses, capital to continue operations, payment of outstanding business expenses, and adaptive business practices needed to remain open. Preference will be given to restaurants that provided outdoor dining as of Nov. 24.

The Program, approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Nov. 24,  and operated by the Los Angeles County Development Authority, will be available to small businesses located in the County of Los Angeles, not including the Cities of Los Angeles and Pasadena, that can demonstrate that their business was impacted by COVID-19 through a hardship due to closure and a reduction in revenue. Businesses that have already received assistance from other Los Angeles County Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act programs are not eligible for this Program.

The application period will begin at 12 a.m. Dec. 3, and be available through 11:59 p.m. Dec.6, or until 2,500 applications are received, whichever comes first.

Details: 626- 943-3833; keeplacountydining.lacda.org
