# SBA Makes Kentucky Disaster Loans Available

On October 27, 2026, the U.S. Small Business Administration approved a disaster declaration covering 19 Kentucky counties affected by June storms, making disaster loans available to eligible homeowners, small businesses, and nonprofits. Physical-damage applications are due December 28, 2026, and economic-injury applications are due July 26, 2027. The announcement identifies no contract solicitation or government award, so procurement firms should distinguish this borrower financing from a direct contracting opportunity.

- Eligible small businesses and nonprofits can contact SBA about disaster loan assistance; physical-damage applications are due **December 28, 2026**, and economic-injury applications are due **July 26, 2027**.
- Contractors and suppliers serving affected communities may assess potential recovery-related demand, but the announcement does not establish funded procurements or guarantee work.
