We hope you can access the EIDL application on the SBA portal at any point now!
https://www.sba.gov/page/disaster-loan-applications
EIDL is a loan program directly through SBA that can cover many expenses. As part of the program, you can ask for an advance of up to $1000 per employee (up to 10), that functions as a grant. There is a huge backlog already in this program, so any new applicants are already behind others.
