In a continued effort to address the economic impact due to COVID-19, OCRA is launching a Long-Term Recovery phase of their response program to support rural Hoosier businesses. 

Eligible applicants include non-entitlement local units of government. These applicants can apply for up to $250,000 in grants or loans to retain low-to-moderate (LMI) jobs.
