Following verification of your application information and approval, a check will be mailed to the application address. Subject to available funds, subsequent months assistance payments may be requested via email declaring continued financial impact due to COVID-19.
Completing an application is not a guarantee of assistance, assistance is based on qualification and available funds, and only one assistance applicant is allowed per business address.

The program is new and temporary, and may change over time. Please check back here for additional information.
Funds are made available by the City of Portland which established the PDX-CARES program to share and distribute the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) assistance funds.
