LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass today visited one of the City’s four new Impacted Worker and Family Recovery Centers, which provide people who lost income because of the recent fires in the Palisades, Altadena and elsewhere in LA County with job placement, financial assistance, small business grants and other services. Mayor Bass urged impacted Angelenos to visit one of the centers for help getting back on their feet. Mayor Bass was joined by Councilmember Hugo-Soto Martinez today at the Center in Culver City. Angelenos can learn more at lacity.gov.
“The workers, small business owners and families who lost their livelihoods in the recent fires live all across our City and region,” Mayor Bass said. “The fires destroyed the workplaces of thousands of gardeners, restaurant workers, house cleaners, childcare workers and more. As we rebuild our neighborhoods, we are also going to do everything we can to make sure every family who was impacted can rebuild their lives.”
