Harvey Economic Development Program
Hurricane Harvey generated long-term impact and challenges for Houston’s small business sector. The Harvey Economic Development Program (HEDP) provides support to impacted small businesses and communities through small business loans and grants. The program prioritizes microenterprises, which are defined as small businesses consisting of 5 employees or fewer, including the owner. This program will complement existing projects that focus on providing jobs and housing assistance to communities that are most vulnerable to the long-term impact of Hurricane Harvey.
Aims of the Program
Boosting the growth and capacity of microenterprises
Promoting equity by providing capital to disadvantaged business owners
Supporting small contractors working with the City of Houston on post-Harvey reconstruction efforts
