Applications for low-interest loans reopened April 27 after lawmakers injected an additional $310 billion into the Paycheck Protection Program. $60 billion was set aside for small lenders and community-based financial institutions, including those that serve minority and distressed communities.

The program, an integral part of the federal government's massive economic stimulus effort passed at the end of March, exhausted its initial $349 billion in funding within 13 days.
