The Hospitality Industry Relief Emergency (HIRE) Fund was to provide bridge loans for the state’s hospitality sector during the COVID-19 crisis, but the Kansas Department of Commerce announced that all their initial funds have been distributed until new resources become available.
Hospitality-related businesses can still fill out a form to share how COVID-19 has impacted them, however, it does not guarantee that they will receive HIRE funding. The Kansas Department of Commence advises that small businesses apply for a
U.S. Small Business Administration’s Disaster Relief Loan for the time being.
