While billions of dollars are still available in COVID-19 relief, some small business owners said getting the help they need has proven to be difficult.

So far, the U.S. Small Business Administration has handed out less than $3 billion out of the $30 billion in COVID-19 aid program meant for small businesses in low-income areas.

The Targeted EIDL Advance program offers up to $10,000 grants for small businesses.
