Motorcoach Companies Helping Communities Devastated by Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene has left widespread destruction, impacting thousands of families and communities along the Atlantic Coast. Now, more than ever, our efforts can make a difference. Several motorcoach companies are stepping up to provide essential support, supplies, and aid to help these communities recover. Join us in this relief effort by donating or volunteering.

How You Can Help

You can get involved in the following ways:

  • Monetary Donations: Financial contributions go directly toward providing essentials like food, water, and shelter for those affected. You can donate directly to local relief organizations.
  • Supply Donations: Essential items like bottled water, canned goods, hygiene products, blankets, and first aid supplies are urgently needed. Find local drop-off points where you can bring these much-needed supplies.
  • Volunteer: Consider volunteering your time to help distribute supplies or assist with rebuilding efforts. Local organizations and motorcoach companies are organizing efforts to transport volunteers and supplies to the affected areas.

Head’s Up: Treasury Has Made a Change to CERTS Application

We have been advised from the Treasury Department that they have made a change to the CERTS application and how people list their PPP loans/grants. This effects those who have filled out their application in the first week of the portal being open.

 

Originally the application only allowed companies to list one PPP loan number. There was no place to list additional PPP loans or additional amounts. Treasury mistakenly assumed people would roll the amounts all together. And once the CERTS application is submitted there is no way you would know this section changed.

 

Operators who only listed one PPP (but received multiple) need to go back to their application and edit how many loans they received. To do this, you need to contact Treasury at either at CERTS@treasury.gov or call the helpdesk 877-398-5862 and request to open your application so you can correct the error.

 

The Treasury has updated their FAQs to address this and other issues/questions that have come in since the portal opened.
