Few businesses have been untouched by the pandemic. Some were able to get federal and other assistance, but not those in the cannabis industry, since it's illegal under federal law. Cannabis businesses already faced challenges from being unable to access traditional financing and other banking services. Many continue to be targets for theft as they have to deal in cash. Now people of color, women and all businesses operated by a historically disadvantaged owner can apply for grants from the Portland's Cannabis Emergency Relief Fund. The $1.3 million dollar fund will go directly to three organizations that will distribute the grants to businesses. The grant applications will be open early next year. NuLeaf is one of the nonprofits that will be distributing those grants, and its executive director Jeanette Ward-Horton joins us to tell us more.
