Coronavirus Relief Loans In Littleton: Where PPP Money Went

LITTLETON, CO — More than 13,000 Colorado businesses have received Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, loans to help pay their employees during the coronavirus pandemic.

PPP loans were established as part of the federal government's CARES act, and are similar to grants: they will be forgiven as long as businesses keep their employees on their payroll, without cutting their pay. However, the money does not necessarily have to go directly to employees as long as the business keeps paying them — it can also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent and utilities.

The U.S. Small Business Administration released data Monday that shows nearly 5 million businesses have received PPP loans totaling over $521,000,000,000. The U.S. Treasury says that money has supported 51.1 million jobs, as much as 84 percent of America's small business employees.
