Karen Mills: “Our job is to support them as they grow and create jobs. This job is not done.”

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. They create nearly 2 of every 3 new jobs.

We are there to help homeowners, renters, and business owners with long-term, low-interest loans.

By and large, the stimulus money is out in the marketplace--in the hands of entrepreneurs and small business owners--and it is working.

We put the maximum possible resources directly into the hands of small business, focusing on access to capital, contracts, counseling, and disaster assistance.
