"The Sacramento Inclusive Economic Development Collaborative (Sac IEDC) has worked the past ten months to support our small businesses in any way we could. Whether it be helping to fill out a form, or placing a phone call to provide assistance, or walking the neighborhoods to check on how the business owners are doing. Our fifteen partner organizations have banded together and worked tirelessly to provide the expertise, access, and even a shoulder to lean on, sometimes."

Sac IEDC is proud to assist Sacramento small businesses like Top Nails on Stockton Blvd., which worked with our partner, the Sacramento Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce to receive consulting assistance, and whose owners had this to say about the program: "During the pandemic, the nail salons were forced on a shut down for four months. When I was allowed to reopen, my building had an electrical fire. I was very confused, worried and stressed about the epidemic and the situati...on. I was fortunate to meet Ms Mai through a referral from a friend. She enrolled me into the IEDC program. I had a one on one consultation service that helped me with accessing small business loan programs. The IEDC team was genuine and kind in helping me with how to complete the loan application process as well as providing resources giving me hope that I can get through this. I hope Ms. Mai and the IEDC team will continue to help me and other small businesses. Thank you, Top Nails" Learn more about the Sac IEDC program at https://www.sac-iedc.org

Sac IEDC, the City of Sacramento, and Power Inn Alliance are providing ClearScan devices to 500 impacted small businesses, churches, and organizations. The City incorporated the ClearScan devices in the plan to help fight against COVID-19 and will partner with the Sac IEDC to distribute them. These tablet-like devices use advanced technology to do two things; detect the temperature of the person being scanned, as well as detect the presence of a facial covering. As an owner, you’re able to ensure that everyone walking into your small business or organization does not have a fever, reducing the spread of COVID-19.
