During indefinitely extended lockdown, SF works on new aid programs for businesses

from Civic · host Laura Wenus, Liana Wilcox, Mel Baker

As local mainstays — cafes, bars and restaurants — launch fundraisers to ask neighbors to help them survive indefinitely extended shelter-in-place orders, governments at all levels are offering up various forms of aid. In San Francisco, many of those supportive programs for businesses and workers come through the Office of Economic and Workforce Development. Director Joaquín Torres returns to Civic to talk about how the city is trying to help.
