In the aftermath of the devastating Eaton Fire, L.A. County Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger is urging local property owners to help house families displaced by the disaster.

Barger is making an urgent appeal to find one- and two-bedroom rental units within a 10-mile radius of the Eaton Fire boundary to assist those in need.
The Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA), in collaboration with the American Red Cross, is leading the effort to identify available rental units in nearby communities such as Pasadena, Glendale, and Monrovia, where housing demand is particularly high.
“We have an immediate need to support wildfire survivors who have been displaced from their homes and want to remain close to their communities,” said Barger. “Many of these families are struggling to rebuild their lives while ensuring stability for their children. I urge property owners with available units to partner with us and provide a lifeline for those in need.”
Under this partnership, displaced renters will cover rental costs as they would in the private market, ensuring a sustainable arrangement for both property owners and families.
“Property owners are the key to helping the County’s impacted residents start to rebuild their lives,” said Emilio Salas, LACDA Executive Director. “The LACDA is prepared to hear from property owners to connect them with the American Red Cross, so that together, we can serve as a bridge in this critical step for families to move forward.”
Property owners with an available unit are asked to contact the LACDA at (626) 586-1570, (626) 586-1565 or via email at . LACDA staff are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Property owners with available units are encouraged to contact LACDA at (626) 586-1570 or (626) 586-1565, or by email at Owner.Services@lacda.org. LACDA staff are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Spanish-speaking staff are also available to assist.
