CNHED launches DCSmallBizHelp website for small business support

The Coalition of Nonprofit Housing and Economic Development (CNHED) has maintained a website — DCSmallBizHelp — designed to help firms discover, connect and navigate the District’s small business ecosystem.

“The DCSmallBizHelp website was initially created as a result of the recommendations outlined in our Small Business Policy Project back in 2014,” said Stephen Glaude, president of the CNHED. “The vision for the website has always been to help small businesses find and navigate the myriad of resources, services, and programs available in the District. With funding from Truist, CNHED was afforded the opportunity to revamp and relaunch our website to reflect the small business ecosystem.” Components of the website include Business Support Programs, Capital Providers and Government Services. The website regularly highlights webinars on a variety of topics such as financing, management, licensing and work balance.
There is also a Small Business Ecosystem Map that reveals programs in the District designed to aid smaller firms. Glaude said strengthening the connections with small businesses is a goal of the DCSmallBizHelp website.“CNHED will connect with the small business community to identify ways to enhance and round out the information on the website, and to identify additional resources that are needed for small businesses,” Glaude added. “We plan to gather data and analytics to help us refine how we target, communicate, and connect with small businesses. As part of Advancing Communities, CNHED will share best practices around small business ecosystem building.”
