Collaborating Together to Connect Small
Business Owners with Critical Services
The Community Navigation Pilot Program (CNPP) was established by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The SBA launched the CNP Program to strengthen outreach to underserved businesses by partnering with organizations with deep roots in their communities. This approach was designed to help the small businesses, with a focus on those owned by veterans, women, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals — including in rural and urban communities that had been hit the hardest by COVID-19 pandemic and severe economic impacts. The program is comprised of a lead “Hub” at the center of a network of “Spoke” organizations that deploy community advocates to work with small businesses during economic recovery. Recovery services can include financial assistance, access to capital supports, contracting and procurement assistance, marketing, operations, and business development, export and importing, and industry specific training, among other areas of technical assistance to aid businesses in stabilization and expansion.
The Asian Chamber of Commerce is now a "Spoke" under the US Pan Asian American Chamber of Commerce (USPAACC) to deliver these resources for our community with focus on the Greater Houston area and beyond.
