| U.S. SBA Paycheck Protection Program | SBA Paycheck Protection Program.
Updates: 06/15/20 Congress passed the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act, which made several significant changes to the PPP: 1. Extending the time for forgiveness from 8 weeks to 24 weeks from disbursement. Existing borrowers can choose the 8 week period or 24 week period. 2. New applicants get a 5 year loan, not a 2 year loan as previously. Existing borrowers can talk to their lenders about extending the term to 5 years 3. Lower the percent of the loan required to be spent on payroll from 75% to 60% 4. Provide a "safe harbor" for forgiveness for businesses either unable to provide employees with the same amount of hours or unable to rehire employees. Changes can be seen here in a Joint Statement between Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza: CLICK HERE TO SEE JOINT STATEMENT. A new SBA program created in response to COVID-19 to provide an incentive for small busineeses to keep employees on payroll. Decription from website: "SBA will forgive loans if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities. You can apply through any existing SBA 7(a) lender or through any federally insured depository institution, federally insured credit union, and Farm Credit System institution that is participating. Other regulated lenders will be available to make these loans once they are approved and enrolled in the program. You should consult with your local lender as to whether it is participating in the program. Lenders may begin processing loan applications as soon as April 3, 2020. The Paycheck Protection Program will be available through August 8, 2020. |

Other symptoms sometimes include: fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and loss of taste or smell. This list is not all inclusive.

There is no out-of-pocket cost to you for this testing, however your insurance may be billed. You are asked to contact your medical provider first and only access these services if you do not have a provider or your provider is unable to provide testing. Because of continued challenges of obtaining testing supplies and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for health care providers conducting tests, testing may be restricted at times to high priority groups, as defined by the California Department of Public Health or Orange County Public Health.

| Huntington Beach Police Department Domestic Violence Information and Resources |
If your partner acts controlling, aggressive, coercive or violent in any way, you are in an unhealthy or abusive relationship. You can be in an abusive relationship even if there's no physical abuse; abuse can also be verbal, emotional, mental, or sexual. Domestic violence doesn't look the same in every relationship, but one thing abusive relationships have in common is that the abusive partner does a variety of things to have power and control over their partners. If things are happening that are frightening or violent, chances are it will happen again, even if your partner promises that it won't. You don't have control over your partner's behavior, but you do have control over how you prepare and respond to abusive situations. | If you feel your life is in danger, call 911.

Some of these organizations are in need of supplies to serve members of our community that they are helping, some are in need of volunteer to assist them in their critical services. We have provided links below to those organizations who have reached out to us. Please note that although we know we have a lot of wonderful non-profit organizations serving HB, we are not endorsing these organizations, nor have we had the time to verify the needs listed.

| Waymakers Youth Shelter Meal Train | Way makers Youth Shelter in Central Park is a nonprofit resource building safer communities by helping people find their way. Whether redirecting youth offenders, helping sheltered children get back on track, unifying troubled families, resolving community conflicts or empowering victims of violence, Way makers clears the path so clients can advance beyond crisis.
While the Huntington Beach Youth Shelter remains open to meet the needs of vulnerable local youth, they have had to reduce their daily staff. They could really use our community’s support by providing daily dinners for the youth-in-residence and adults who care for them. *_Although the shelter is unable to accept volunteers to come in to cook at this time, they are able to accept “porch drop” deliveries of prepared meals from local vendors. *_The Shelter can not accept home-cooked meals but can accept donations of sealed non-perishable items or store bought food such as rotisserie chicken, frozen lasagna, etc. *_You can also purchase and select delivery options from any of our local restaurants—especially those small businesses that are struggling to remain open during this precarious market. *_On their website you can purchase Grubhub, Restaurant, and Grocery Gift Cards for the HB Youth Shelter. |

LATEST NEWS
The County of Orange is supporting local restaurants that are reopening safely. Apply for a $1,000 grant to reimburse you for masks, employee training, site reconfiguration, cleaning supplies, and more.
Today, the City of Huntington Beach announced the launch of its OneHB Business Support Campaign, which will deliver $5,000 micro-grants to qualified small businesses that have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. These one-time grants are intended to provide financial relief to help Huntington Beach small businesses keep their doors open. All grants will be funded through direct donations and the sale of OneHB apparel and yard signs, available through our new website, http://www.OneHB.org.
The City has been made aware of Saturate OC events taking place in Huntington Beach by Lifeguard Tower 20. Contrary to claims made by organizers, Saturate OC has not obtained the required City permits needed to hold their event. Furthermore, the Saturate OC event is currently operating in violation of State and County public health orders. Given those factors, the City has already issued a citation to the Saturate OC event organizer today.
On Monday, July 20, the City will institute modified operations as a proactive health and safety measure in response to the current spike in COVID-19 cases throughout Orange County. Under this modified operating plan, the City will continue providing all current services (including Police, Fire, development, and utility operations), but will close public access to City Hall, the Police Department, and most other facilities to limit the interactions that can spread COVID-19. Of note, all departmental operations will remain fully staffed, and the City will improve and expand the use of digital and telephone services to meet the community’s needs remotely.
Effective July 13, 2020, ALL counties must close indoor operations in these sectors:
Dine-in restaurants
Wineries and tasting rooms
Movie theaters
Family entertainment centers (for example: bowling alleys, miniature golf, batting cages and arcades)
Zoos and museums
Cardrooms
Additionally, bars, brewpubs, breweries, and pubs must close all operations both indoor and outdoor statewide, unless they are offering sit-down, outdoor dine-in meals. Alcohol can only be sold in the same transaction as a meal.
Counties that have remained on the County Monitoring List for 3 consecutive days will be required to shut down the following industries or activities unless they can be modified to operate outside or by pick-up.
Fitness centers
Worship services
Protests
Offices for non-essential sectors
Personal care services, like nail salons, body waxing and tattoo parlors
Hair salons and barbershops
Malls
In anticipation of large crowds this weekend, the City will temporarily close all city beaches, Huntington Harbour beaches, Sunset Beach, and the Pier on Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5 to limit the spread of COVID-19. This decision was made in coordination with Orange County and the Cities of Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, which will implement the same measures along their coasts. Orange County has seen a significant increase in COVID-19 cases this week, and these closures are intended to be proactive measures to help flatten the curve.
