Section 690.50  Identifying Disproportionately Impacted
Areas
a)         The
Department will allocate funding within the Program such that no less than 30%
will be provided to qualifying businesses located in disproportionately impacted
areas. The Department will determine which ZIP Codes constitute disproportionately
impacted areas based on available COVID-19 case information and economic data
at the time it announces funding opportunities under the Program, and areas may
be added or removed from prioritization based on changes in relative COVID-19
rates and economic distress.
b)         Within
each Allotment Tier, the Department will rank each ZIP Code by COVID-19 cases
per capita and by each of the poverty-related criteria. ZIP Codes with
moderate, high, and very high COVID-19 cases per capita will be considered to
be disproportionately impacted areas if they also have moderate to high rates
of economic distress, as demonstrated by high rates within at least one of the
poverty-related criteria (see Section 690.20 (Disproportionately Impacted
Area)).  The Department will include areas with significantly higher rates of
COVID-19 cases per capita and lower levels of the poverty-related criteria, as
well as areas with significantly higher levels of the poverty-related criteria
and lower relative COVID-19 cases per capita.
c)         The
Department will reserve funding opportunities for qualifying businesses located
in or predominantly serving severely disproportionately impacted areas.
