The Los Angeles Fashion District Business Improvement District has introduced four new grant programs aimed at supporting the area’s small businesses and property owners who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through SpaceConnect, $10,000 grants are being offered to incentivize independent retailers, arts-and-culture collectives, and casual-dining and personal-care businesses to lease ground-floor commercial space within the district’s BID boundaries. #SmallBizLove is awarding creative-service grants worth between $500 and $2,500. You Are Here is a rent-free pop-up retail program that will afford vacant spaces to retail tenants in the area. Spruce It Up grants property owners and businesses up to $6,000 in matching grant funds for exterior improvements to their buildings. For additional information, visit
