Some places were able to get PPP loans at the beginning of the pandemic, but for most of these venues, that money was gone in a month of two. Venues have been shut down for almost a year now. People are going into huge amounts of debt, many of these folks are afraid they will never be able to financially recover from this, let alone keep their venues open. We have got to do something, and we ve got to do it now, said San Francisco Small Business Commission President Sharky Laguna.
Although Congress recently passed a $900 billion COVID-19 relief package, which included $15 billion set aside for theaters and entertainment venues, Haney said the funds are likely insufficient to prevent permanent closures.
San Francisco supervisor proposes recovery fund for hard-hit entertainment industry

SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco Supervisor Matt Haney introduced legislation Tuesday that would create a fund to help the city s struggling music and entertainment venues, which have had their doors closed since March.
According to Haney, the San Francisco Music and Entertainment Venue Recovery Fund is desperately needed as many of the businesses are facing permanent closure as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. What this pandemic has done to our economy and our way of life has been nothing short of a nightmare, and for our city s venues, there has been no reprieve. They were the first to close and will likely be the among the last to reopen, Haney said in statement.
A gay small business owner is one step closer to a seat on the powerful San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency s board after a hearing Monday by the Board of Supervisors rules committee.
Emanuel Manny Yekutiel s nomination was approved 3-0 during the December 14 remote hearing. The committee also unanimously recommended disability rights advocate Fiona Hinze to another seat on the SFMTA board. Mayor London Breed nominated both Yekutiel and Hinze.
Yekutiel owns the eponymously named cafe and event space at 16th and Valencia streets in the Mission district. He currently serves on the San Francisco Small Business Commission, a seat he will resign if approved for the SFMTA board.
