RELIEF FUNDS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the economic hardships of the COVID-19 public health emergency and disaster has been
widespread and deeply impactful throughout our country, state, country, county and local communities, and
WHEREAS while all residents have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the evidence is clear that
the economic and human costs have the Coronavirus pandemic and economic recession have been
disproportionately borne by minorities, particularly African-Americans; and
WHEREAS the number of working African American business owners in the United States plummeted more
than 40 percent as the coronavirus shut down much of the economy — a far steeper drop than other racial
groups experienced, according to an analysis published in the Washington Post; and
WHEREAS according to a survey conducted by the Global Strategy Group just 12% of black and Latino
small business owners who applied for assistance from the Small Business Administration reported
receiving what they had asked for, while 26% said they had received only a fraction of what they had
requested. Nearly half of all owners said they anticipated having to permanently close in the next six
months; and
WHEREAS as of April, the country lost nearly 450,000 active African American business owners as the
pandemic intensified, he found. But the disparities extended into every minority group. The number of
working Latino business owners dropped 32 percent from February to April, while the number of Asian
business owners decreased by about a quarter; and
WHEREAS an April 6th report from the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) found that roughly 95% of
Black -owned businesses, 91% of Latino -owned businesses, 91% of Native Hawaiian or Pacific Island -
owned businesses, and 75% of Asian -owned business "stand close to no chance of receiving a PPP loan
through a mainstream bank or credit union."; and
WHEREAS many minority-owned businesses, who had never sought a loan in the past, were turned away
by banks who stated they were only considering applications from existing customers; and
WHEREAS the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Office of Inspector General issued a report, dated
May 8, 2020, which reviewed the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and found that rural, minority,
and women -owned businesses may not have received the loans as intended; and
WHEREAS researchers at the University of Illinois, Harvard Business School, Harvard University and the
University of Chicago have found that more than 100,000 small businesses have already gone out of
business since March and that in May, their survey suggests that 2% of small businesses are gone
nationwide; and
WHEREAS on March 27, 2020, Congress passed and the President signed the "Coronavirus Aid, Relief,
and Economic Security Act" (CARES Act); and
WHEREAS the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented situation in the
State of Michigan and Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed by Congress
with overwhelming, bipartisan support and signed into law by the President of the United States on March
27, 2020; and
WHEREAS the CARES Act administered by the United States Treasury Department is a relief package by
the Federal Government to protect the American people from the public health and economic impacts of
COVID-19; and
WHEREAS the CARES Act provides fast and direct economic assistance for American workers, families,
and small businesses, and preserve jobs for our American industries; and
WHEREAS County of Oakland was allocated $219,438,710 under the CARES Act's Coronavirus Relief
Fund (CRF) to respond directly to the emergency as well as expenditures incurred to respond to second -
order effects of the emergency, and
WHEREAS the County has retained outside expert counsel in Pierce Monroe & Associates assisted by
Guidehouse (formerly PwC) to ensure compliance with the CARES Act and full utilization of federal funding
resources; and
WHEREAS these funds may only be used to cover costs that are necessary expenditures incurred due to
the public health emergency; were not accounted for in a budget approved as of March 27, 2020; are not
government revenue replacements; and are incurred by December 30, 2020; and
WHEREAS the guidance provided by the U.S. Treasury in "Coronavirus Relief Fund, Frequently Asked
Questions" dated May 28, 2020 indicates that a county may fund payments for economic support, even in
the absence of a stay-at-home order, including, for example, a grant program to benefit small businesses
that close voluntarily to promote social distancing measures or that are affected by decreased customer
demand as a result of the COVID-19 public health emergency; and
WHEREAS Section 1102 of the CARES Act states that the processing and disbursement of covered loans
prioritizes small businesses in underserved and rural markets, including those owned and controlled by
socially and economically disadvantaged individuals (minorities), women, and in operation for under 2
years; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners is committed to assisting our minority-owned
small businesses and intends to utilize the funding provided to Oakland County under the CARES Act to
establish a minority-owned, small business grant program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
authorizes the creation of the Minority -Owned Small Business Grant Program for the purpose of offering
minority-owned small businesses in Oakland County grant funding for CARES Act Coronavirus Relief
Funds (CRF) eligible expenses.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the priorities for the Minority -Owned Small Business Grant Program
