Overview
- The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion directing agencies to evaluate additional temporary housing options for Eaton Fire survivors and report back within 21 days.
- The review will consider allowing mobile homes and RVs in certain public rights-of-way when survivors cannot safely or feasibly place them on private property.
- The action followed reports that an Altadena family living in a rented fifth-wheel outside their burned home received two citations last week with threats of towing.
- A Los Angeles County Parking Enforcement lieutenant told the family they have two weeks to resolve the trailer’s placement, providing a short-term reprieve under existing ordinances.
- Supervisor Kathryn Barger has advocated for compassionate, practical accommodations and said she would introduce a measure to let fire victims keep trailers on the street as rebuilding continues.
