Small Business Resource Network Funding

NYC Council & Nyc Mayor Must Take Action

In recent New York City budget negotiations, NYC Mayor Eric Adams did not include a signature small business service program, the Small Business Resource Network. The program, one of the great successes assisting small businesses through COVID-19 and recovery, provided a new model for high touch, immediate, and customized business services that have not been offered in New York City. The program, largely more effective and impactful, then other models, has assisted more than 10,000 businesses, with over 3,000 Bronx businesses becoming full program participants.

The program employs over 35 small business resource specialists, provides real time business data and timely, customized services, and most importantly bridges the divide between small businesses and government agencies.

We are calling on the Mayor and the New York City Council to step up and fully fund this vital program supporting thousands of small businesses with real, tangible results which stabilize our communities and local economies.
