The City of Unalaska received funds from the CARES Act passed from Congress through the State of Alaska to assist local communities, local businesses and nonprofit organizations who have been impacted from the COVID-19. Today the City opened an online portal to accept pre-applications from businesses and nonprofit organizations for funding from Unalaska’s share of CARES funding. Eligible businesses must have a City of Unalaska Business License issued before March 12, 2020, which is when the City opened its Emergency Operations Center in response to the virus. Nonprofit organizations must demonstrate they existed prior to that date. Paper applications are also available in the vestibule at Unalaska City Hall.
