Overview
- The $107.3 million package funds nine affordable housing projects totaling 673 units that will be offered first to people displaced by last January’s Altadena and Pacific Palisades fires.
- Projects are spread across Los Angeles County, including Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Bellflower, Covina, and Claremont.
- Combined with a prior statewide round, the pipeline rises to 974 affordable homes in the county, with state officials saying construction is on the horizon.
- State housing officials stress the developments are not in burn-scar areas and do not directly replace destroyed homes.
- Executive actions direct priority for survivors on affordable housing waitlists and provide protections as temporary assistance and insurance payouts taper off.
