Remember the $800b+ in “non-recourse” PPP loans given out as COVID relief?
I was in Phoenix at the time and there were signs from “agencies” advertising they’d help you get one even if you don’t own a business or have a payroll (but simple were thinking about starting one.)

Well they may have ended one or more of the tax credits,
but as of January, US Treasury Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo, was still hosting webinars on how state and local government can still access and spend unspent COVID relief funds.
(You know, because al their COVID needs have been met and there are still billions left over.)
The clock is ticking. Tens of billions of dollars are still available for charitable nonprofits, but only if state and local governments commit to spending those funds on nonprofits (as opposed to elsewhere) by the end of 2024. Otherwise, the federal government may claw back uncommitted funds. . . .
They are running fiber all over rural Maine. Even my cabin in the middle of nowhere with no running water has a connection close enough to it that we are looking into getting internet there for the summer months.
