Has any liquidity relief been provided to fund bank lending of SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans?

Yes. On April 6, 2020, the Federal Reserve announced a facility to bolster the effectiveness of the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) by supplying liquidity to participating financial institutions through term financing backed by PPP loans to small businesses. The Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) extends credit to eligible financial institutions that originate PPP loans, taking the loans as collateral at face value. The PPPLF became fully operational and available to provide liquidity to eligible financial institutions on April 16, 2020.
