Reporter Roundup: Small Business Loan Roll Out

On the April 3 edition of the Reporter Roundup, KPCC reporters look at how banks are managing the roll out of the small business loans, what resources are available for the undocumented population and the latest confirmed cases of COVID-19.

KPCC’s Caroline Champlin has details on what, if any, assistance is being offered to undocumented people in Los Angeles.

Confusion and frustration are characterizing the small business loan application process according to KPCC’s Emily Guerin.

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced Friday the state has secured nearly 7,000 hotel rooms for homeless Californians to stay in during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to KPCC reporter Matt Tinoco.
