Supporting Wildfire-Impacted Families and Workers
The wildfires have severely disrupted the livelihoods of essential workers in our community, including caregivers, housekeepers, landscapers, and hourly and part-time service workers serving homes and businesses in the Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Pasadena, Altadena, Topanga Canyon, Studio City, Hollywood Hills, and other areas impacted by the devastating Los Angeles County fires.
Workers and their families are the backbone of our community, contributing to its vitality and resilience. Without support, their recovery will be long and uncertain.
Unique Households
Impacted workers frequently come from mixed legal status families, have multiple generations living in one household, and/or heavily rely on the income of multiple family members to meet basic needs. Any instability to household income puts these families at high risk of falling further into poverty. Additional challenges our families are facing further exacerbate their vulnerability: health impacts due to air and water quality, the threat of mass deportations, and educational disruptions, which can cause significant setbacks in a community and society. When these systems are interrupted, it can take generations to rebuild the intellectual and social capital necessary for progress.
Emergency Resources
We also created a list of local emergency resources and up-to-date information to support and inform those impacted in Los Angeles County. We will continue to update this as we receive more information.
