Business Technical Assistance

Small and Microenterprise Business Development Program
Doña Paula Ascuncion, owner of Mixteca Catering, participated in the Hacienda CDC microenterprise program
This program funds several local non-profit organizations to provide technical assistance and training. It is intended to spark wealth and job creation for entrepreneurs and businesses by increasing the availability of ongoing, structured, one-on-one client engagement; providing on-site business development services; and assisting in starting, strengthening, or expanding business operations. The program serves business owners/entrepreneurs with low and moderate incomes, and those in traditionally underserved communities (including people of color, those with limited English proficiency, and those located in specific geographic areas such as Prosper Portland’s Neighborhood Prosperity Initiative and Main Street areas.)
