Business Loan

Kenner residents are now eligible to apply for Federal Emergency Management Agency individual disaster assistance and small business administration assistance due to Hurricane Francine. The city of Kenner is still working on clarifying the process for the Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program application and establishment of Disaster Recovery Center and says it should be solidified by next week. We have been persistent on our calls with Jefferson Parish Emergency Management, and our own Emergency Operations team has met with state and federal agencies within city limits to prove Kenner needs recovery assistance from Francine. I am thrilled for Kenners residents and business owners to now have access to these resources, said Mayor Mike Glaser.How to apply: FEMA Individual Disaster Assistance:Go online to www.disasterassistance.gov Download and use the FEMA appCall 800-621-3362 between the hours of 6 a.m.-11 p.m. Central Time dailyIf you have flood, homeowners or renters insurance, you should file a claim as soon as possible.
