According to a recent report, over 70% of individuals impacted by January’s Palisades Fire in California are still residing in provisional accommodations.
The Department of Angels conducted a survey involving 2,300 residents affected by the fire throughout Los Angeles County, as highlighted by the Los Angeles Times. This survey revealed that 75% of Pacific Palisades residents and 67% of Altadena residents included in the survey are currently in temporary housing.
As noted by the publication:
Roughly 75% of surveyed Pacific Palisades residents and 67% of surveyed Altadena residents are in temporary housing. Many expect they’ll have to move again in the next few months. The report found that although residents who experienced a total loss have struggled with finding stable housing, residents who experienced structural and smoke or ash damage have had to move more frequently.
Before the government shutdown, a source told Fox News about plans to meet with HUD to discuss potential infrastructure reinvestment.
