According to a July 6 announcement, the Federal Reserve Board’s Main Street Lending Program (MSLP) is now fully operational. Lenders are accepting applications and the Federal Reserve is prepared to participate in eligible loans, the agency said.

The program is designed to help small and medium-sized business relieve the financial strain caused by the COVID-19 crisis. Loans can range in size from $250,000 to $300 million. The loans are not grants and will not be forgiven.
