What happened
The Small Business Administration provided Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) to businesses facing hardship in Florida. One recipient, Spice N Curry, a cafe near Florida International University, received a $370,000 EIDL in 2021, followed by an additional $87,000 loan the following year. Five years later, the owner is struggling to make monthly payments because the business did not recover from the loss of traffic during and after the pandemic.

Why it matters
The EIDL loans were initially intended to provide a lifeline to businesses during the pandemic. However, borrowers with EIDLs totaling more than $200,000 are required to personally guarantee the loan. This structure introduces risk as businesses struggle to meet their repayment obligations.
The SBA disaster loan program is relevant to Florida residents.
