Small businesses impacted by the January windstorms and wildfires are invited to attend an upcoming application assistance event for the Malibu-Topanga Business Interruption Fund. Hosted by the Office of Los Angeles County Third District Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath, in collaboration with the LA County Department of Economic Opportunity and AidKit, the event will provide both in-person and virtual support to help business owners apply for relief. The fund offers between $10,000 and $20,000 in financial assistance to small businesses that experienced significant revenue losses due to the closures of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and Topanga Canyon Boulevard.
The closures, which followed the destructive storms earlier this year, drastically reduced customer access and foot traffic, leaving many local businesses struggling to recover. The assistance event aims to help those businesses navigate the application process and ensure they can access the support they need to rebuild and sustain operations.
The event will take place on Tuesday, July 29, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. at the Topanga Library, located at 122 N. Topanga Blvd., Topanga, CA 90290. In-person registration is available at bit.ly/BIFJul29, and virtual participation can be accessed by registering at bit.ly/SD3BIFJul29. For more information about the fund, eligibility requirements, and how to apply, business owners are encouraged to attend or visit the registration links provided.
