SBA Loans Can Cover Fire Contamination Testing & Remediation - Contact Your Caseworker

The SBA loan funds can now be used to pay for contamination testing and remediation for homes impacted by the Eaton and Palisades fires. This means homeowners may use their already-distributed loan dollars for pre- and post-remediation testing as well as any necessary cleanup work related to fire and smoke damage. Survivors should contact their individual caseworkers to obtain written confirmation and have this eligibility noted in their files.
