LOS ANGELES – Mayor Karen Bass today toured the West Adams/Leimert Park Impacted Worker & Family Recovery Center and urged all Angelenos affected by the wildfires to apply today for financial assistance through:
LA Region Small Business Relief Fund: Provides direct relief through cash assistance grants to small businesses and nonprofits who incurred structural loss, structural damage, equipment/inventory loss or revenue loss due to the wildfires;
LA Region Worker Relief Fund: Provides direct relief through cash assistance grants to workers who lost employment or income due to the wildfires, and;
LA County Household Relief Grants: Provides financial assistance to LA County homeowners and renters who lost their residences due to the wildfires and are experiencing economic insecurity.
The deadline to apply for financial assistance through all three funding sources is Wednesday, March 12, at 5 PM.
“Our four Impacted Worker and Family Recovery Centers were quickly set up to help Angelenos who lost jobs and incomes get back on their feet,” said Mayor Karen Bass. “Hundreds of Angelenos have applied for support in person at these centers so far, and I urge everyone impacted by the wildfires to use these centers as a resource – we’re here to help you every step of the way.”
With today’s stop, Mayor Bass has now visited all four of the City of LA’s Impacted Worker and Family Recovery Centers, which were established after the wildfires to help those who lost their jobs and income with job placement, financial assistance, small business grants, and other services.
