Russo. “You are never required to take a loan. If you want to do the best you can to ensure you receive all available assistance from FEMA, you must return that SBA application. That’s why we’re now offering help at 11 locations around Vermont.” WHERE TO GET IN-PERSON HELP COMPLETING YOUR SBA LOAN APPLICATION: VERMONT NEIGHBORWORKS® HOME OWNERSHIP CENTERS
