The Small Business Financial Assistance Program (SBFAP) has been extended through March 31, 2025, providing eligible businesses along the South C​​entral Extension/Downtown Hub​ light rail route to apply for up to $9,000 in grant funding.

New applicants and those who received funding previously are encouraged to apply. Eligible businesses must:

  • Be located on the South Central Extension/Downtown Hub light rail extension
  • Have 15 or fewer employees and annual revenue less than $750,000 
  • Have been in operation prior to the start of construction (June 2019)
  • ​​Demonstrate loss in revenue as compared to before construction

It is important to note that Tier I grant funding (providing $4,500 per grant) has been fully dispensed to local businesses and is no longer available.

Since launching in 2021, SBFAP has distributed more than $1.58 million in grant funding to over 270 small and micro businesses immediately adjacent to light rail construction in Phoenix. Last year alone, the program granted more than $400,000 to 65 businesses located along the SCE/DH construction corridor.
