Newsom to devote $101 million to jumpstart rebuilding efforts after LA fires

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 9 – The $101 million funding aims to replace fire-destroyed rent-protected housing with low-income multifamily units prioritizing wildfire victims and transit proximity, Governor Newsom announced.

  • Governor Gavin Newsom requested $40 billion in wildfire aid six months after destructive fires hit Los Angeles County, seeking federal support to rebuild affected communities.
  • Tensions between President Trump and Newsom over policies have complicated aid approval, with Trump stating that personal dislike can affect funding decisions.
  • California officials and Democrats emphasize unity, noting that states like Louisiana received aid regardless of political differences, while waiting for action from the White House and Congress.
  • Oliver Peoples partnered with artist Alex Isael to sell limited-edition sunglasses, donating 100% of sales to Steadfast LA’s Modular Housing Initiative, which supports wildfire survivors in Los Angeles.
  • The aid request's delay and political disputes slow rebuilding efforts, but local initiatives and advocacy continue to help residents recover and remain in their communities.
