The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced that low-interest federal disaster loans are now available to private nonprofit organizations (PNPs), homeowners, renters, and businesses in Missouri impacted by severe storms, tornadoes, straight-line winds, and flooding that occurred from March 30 to April 8, 2025.
The disaster declaration covers 26 Missouri counties, including Douglas, Howell, Oregon, Ozark, Texas, and Webster. Eligible PNPs—such as food kitchens, homeless shelters, museums, schools, and community centers—may apply for up to $2 million in assistance to repair or replace damaged property and equipment. Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) are also available to cover working capital needs, even if the applicant did not suffer physical damage.
Interest rates are as low as 3.62% with repayment terms of up to 30 years. No interest accrues and no payments are due for the first 12 months after the initial loan disbursement. SBA encourages prompt application submission to ensure timely assistance.
The deadline to apply for physical damage loans is July 22, 2025, while EIDL applications are due by February 23, 2026.
