In response to a surge in COVID-19 cases, Congress provided direct economic relief to help small businesses that are particularly hard hit and struggling to survive the pandemic. The hearing will give members an opportunity to hear from small business owners and advocates about the implementation and effectiveness of the SBA’s pandemic related grant programs, the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) and the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF).
