Seattle business owners facing property damage may be eligible for financial assistance through the Storefront Repair Fund. The program reimburses the cost of repairing eligible storefront damage, helping businesses recover from incidents that disrupt operations and customer access.
The fund provides reimbursement of up to three thousand dollars per incident, with a limit of three separate incidents per business. Multiple grants may be requested in a single application, as long as each claim is tied to a different incident that occurred on a different date. Businesses that have previously received funding may apply again if a new eligible incident occurs.
Covered repairs include damage to doors, locks, fences, gates, signs, and broken or etched windows. To qualify, the damage must have occurred on or after July 1, 2024. The program does not cover losses related to stolen merchandise or graffiti.
Applications are open through December 2026 or until available funds are exhausted. Retailers and other business owners are encouraged to review eligibility requirements and apply promptly, as funding is limited and demand may be high.
