Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 16, 2026 —

The U.S. Small Business Administration has approved disaster assistance loans for victims of the Aspen Acres Fire and the subsequent burn scar flooding in Pueblo and Custer counties.

The approval covers impacts associated with both the fire and flooding that followed in its burn scar, according to the information provided. The summary does not specify when the loans were approved or provide details about the scale of damage or the number of people or businesses affected.

Details about loan amounts, interest rates, eligibility requirements, application procedures and deadlines were not provided. The information also does not identify specific communities within Pueblo and Custer counties or describe the types of losses covered by the assistance.

The SBA’s approval is the only action described in the summary. It does not say whether applications are currently being accepted, whether any loans have been issued, or what additional assistance may be available. The contractor or agency contact for questions was not provided.

The approval links assistance to two related events: the Aspen Acres Fire and flooding in the area affected by its burn scar. Further information about the terms of the approved loans and how eligible victims can access them was not included in the summary.
