What it is
The State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) funds state, territory, Tribal, and eligible municipal programs that expand access to capital for small businesses. The Department of the Treasury administers it. It was first created by the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 and re-funded by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which provided $10 billion.
Treasury allocates funds to jurisdictions, which design their own programs and channel the money to small businesses, often alongside private lenders and investors. The program is built to leverage private capital.
Each jurisdiction chooses which program types to run and how to deploy its allocation, so the live questions are jurisdiction by jurisdiction.
