S.F. scrambles to support businesses and workers hit by pandemic
Joaquín Torres, director of the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, gives an overview of local programs meant to support struggling businesses and workers and how many have received aid. The need, among workers and businesses, exceeds what the city can immediately offer — all of the money in the city’s Give2SF fund, which is supplied by donations, is spoken for. Many city programs have reached their fund capacities, but others are still rolling out and will accept applications soon.
