As a component of the CARES Act funding, Scottsdale’s Small Business Reimbursement Program assists with pandemic-related health and safety costs.
The city has partnered with the Scottsdale Industrial Development Authority in administering this program which will provide up to $5,000 each to Scottsdale
businesses.

BACKGROUND:
CARES Act funding is being put to work for Scottsdale.
Helping residents and businesses that have been hit hard economically top the list of ways that the City Council has approved more than $29 million in federal CARES
Act funding<https://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/news/cares-act-funding-is-being-put-to-work-for-scottsdale_s4_p29269>
be put to work in Scottsdale.
The council’s action provides $5 million to support local businesses. About $3 million of those dollars are set aside for the Small Business Reimbursement Program.
Additionally, programs and services for Scottsdale residents in-need will receive $3 million, which will be used to provide things like meals and services for seniors
and low-income families, rent and utility assistance, and programs for individuals experiencing homelessness.
With the sudden decline in economic output during the COVID-19 pandemic, the U. S.Congress introduced and passed the CARES Act. The act provides funding to state,
local and tribal governments dealing with the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak.
As part of the federal funding, Arizona cities and counties received about $441million in COVID-19 relief fund, known as the AZCares Fund. City and county populations determined the specific amount each would receive.
