Jefferson County has received both FEMA and Wisconsin Disaster Fund declarations for the April flooding event, along with 18 other counties. As a result, home and business owners, renters, and certain non-profits in Jefferson County are eligible to apply for a couple different types of long-term, low-interest disaster loans.
Business Physical Damage Loans: up to $2 million for small/rural businesses and agricultural enterprises to repair or replace disaster-damaged property, real estate, inventories, supplies, machinery, and equipment.
Home Disaster Loans: up to $2 million for small /rural businesses and agricultural enterprises to repair or replace disaster damaged property, inventories, supplies, machinery, and equipment.
IN ADDITION, business and non-profit owners in the 33 counties contiguous to the 19 counties that received disaster declarations can apply for SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million to cover necessary operating expenses and working capital needs that were not met due to the storms of April 13-23.
The SBA Disaster Loan Application deadline is August 31, 2026, so please share soon! The Economic Injury Loan deadline is not until March 30, 2027, but is also great information to pass along right away.
Jefferson County Emergency Management has some good information on their website too, and will be adding more which you can find here.
