L.A. County Launches $32.2 Million Wildfire Relief Grant

Los Angeles County has launched the L.A. County Household Relief Grant Program to assist families affected by the Eaton and Palisades fires, providing $32.2 million in financial aid to cover essential housing and living expenses. The program, which opens for applications on February 26, will prioritize households based on need, including insurance status and economic vulnerability. In addition, FireAid has announced the distribution of $50 million from its recent benefit concerts to individuals and organizations impacted by the wildfires, with each recipient set to receive at least $100,000 in the first phase. The concerts, featuring major artists, raised over $100 million for relief efforts, with a second phase planned to focus on long-term recovery and rebuilding. Both initiatives aim to alleviate financial burdens for residents as they begin to recover from the devastating wildfires. Local officials emphasize the importance of swift, accessible support to help families stabilize and rebuild their lives.
