Changes to the PPP program are intended to level the playing field for underbanked businesses, which are disproportionally Black- and brown-owned.
The good news about the new $5 billion of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds approved by Congress in December is that Congress made some favorable revisions just to help small businesses and businesses owned by people of color.
The program includes a new loan and forgivability terms, a reduced maximum loans size making the loans more appealing to smaller businesses versus larger ones. They also set aside some of the dollars for community lenders and small businesses with 10 or fewer employees.

The Paycheck Protection Program has helped fund loans for over 5.2 million small businesses across the United States in the last year. That number is set to rise as another round of funding for the Paycheck Protection Program has been approved by Congress.
$284 billion has been allocated to fund small business loans. Shelley Brown, a lender relations specialist for the Small Business Administration, says the priority is to focus on businesses most impacted by the pandemic especially those that have not received previous help from the Paycheck Protection Program.
“Congress intended this round of PPP to increase access to the COVID relief funding for the hardest hit small businesses,” Brown said. “And those are the underserved segments, including women, minorities and veterans. In response, the SBA is initially opening the PPP application to submissions from community financial institutions, which serve underserved communities.”
