How the Harlem Commonwealth Council helps Black businesses

The Harlem Commonwealth Council is a lifeline for small businesses like Sudsy Laundry and Dry Cleaning.
Owner LaChena Clark was able to keep her doors open thanks to their support, especially over the last 15 months.
For 55 years, the nonprofit group has focused on building up Black-owned businesses in Harlem by providing resources that level the playing field.
Aside from providing loans, the council also teachers entrepreneurs the skills required to successfully run a business.
