1,000 euros per month for businesses with cash shortages
Empty boxes but usual loads that continue to fall. This is the situation that countless companies across France have been facing for several weeks. To avoid the suffocation of the most fragile companies in shortage of cash, the Metropolis decided to allocate aid of 1,000 euros for March and April to small businesses with 0 to 10 employees in the territory. To benefit from it, the latter must already be affected by the aid of 1,500 euros provided by the State (solidarity fund). In the agglomeration, between 20,000 and 30,000 companies should be able to benefit from it by the end of April, with retroactive effect for March. This measure is evaluated at 60 million euros for the community, specifies the Metropolis.

Namely museums, restaurants, leisure facilities, hotels for which the community is considering other support measures currently in preparation.
Frontline associations and students supported

This plan would concern 3% of the site's students, or 4,200 students, ”said the city. Associations working on the front line since the start of the health crisis will not be outdone. An envelope of 200,000 euros will be allocated to those who have mobilized to participate in food aid, aid for people infected with Covid-19, victims of domestic violence ...
