Is there any rent payment help for small business that did not receive PPP?
You might want to check out the NJRA Main Street Commercial Corridors Relief Program. It’s a long name, but basically it offers grants (up to $10K) to help small businesses pay their rents/leases. JC businesses are eligible (though you’ll want to check out the other eligibility requirements). Applications open Aug 10.
