City of Tustin Commences Small Business Emergency Grant Program
Jun 16, 2020
NOELLE MINTO, ESQ.
The City of Tustin has partnered with the Orange County/Inland Empire Small Business Development Center (OCIE-SBDC) to develop a Small Business Emergency Grant Program to provide vital economic support to small businesses needing assistance in overcoming the temporary loss of revenue due to COVID-19.
Small businesses negatively affected by COVID-19, with 20 or less employees, may be eligible to receive a working capital grant of up to $10,000. The grant may be used for business operating expenses such as rent/lease payments, mortgage payments, utility expenses, inventory, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) or other similar expenses that occur in the ordinary course of operations.
Funding for the program is provided by the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act received through a Disbursement Agreement from the County of Orange to the City of Tustin. To launch the program, the City will initially release $750,000 of these grant funds, followed by additional releases through the end of this year.
The City of Tustin and the OCIE-SBDC will conduct three webinars, prior to the opening of the application period for the Small Business Emergency Grant Program and will outline the program, the application, and additional documents needed to respond. The webinars will be conducted in English and Spanish.
June 10 at 11:00 am- In English
June 10 at 12:00 pm- in Spanish
June 11 at 11:00 am- Q & A in both English and Spanish
The Small Business Emergency Grant Program application period opens Friday, June 12 at 9:00 am and closes Thursday, June 18 at 5:00 pm.

Testimonials
John Schroeder was brought on to work on my case with Samantha and they updated/collaborated with Noelle. Noelle, Samantha and John are all patient, direct and very personable. Their knowledge and professionalism are exceptional. NM Law was successful in achieving a Settlement Agreement under difficult circumstances amongst people with little trust in one another. Thankfully we did not have to bear the cost of going to trial, however, I have complete confidence that NM Law would have prevailed if we had.
I highly recommend NM Law. I look forward to working with them again, but this time to plan my estate.
I want to thank you and your staff for the courtesy extended to us during our family's pending emergency deadline.
Mr. O'Grady spoke to my brother and gave us his best recommendation regarding my father's estate.
It is really hard to speak, and even harder to "plan" generational wealth with a parent in terms of assets, intentions, and mortality, but it is a necessary conversation to have, if only to lessen the unfairness of life that eventually catches up to all of us.
Our family tried to bring justice to my father's death within this probate process and found no justice, this system must be changed, so that a fairness is inherit within this system and not just a scam—lots of hard lessons to be learned from a broken probate process.
In either case, thank you again for giving our family the attention and direction we sought. The adage is true, not all lawyers are the same. Looking forward to working with your office in the near future, as we don't want to repeat this experience with our Mom.
Gracias,
Abraham
We highly recommend NM Law for your estate planning needs.
I highly recommend NM Law.
