Los Angeles County officials have launched a household relief grant to provide immediate financial assistance to residents impacted by the Eaton and Palisades fires.
At a news conference Wednesday morning, Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger announced the new LA County Household Relief Grant. Its goal is to bridge financial gaps and promote the general welfare of the affected households until insurance or government resources become available.
"Through this program, more than $27.8 million will be directly distributed to residents whose homes were destroyed or residents whose primary residence falls within the impacted areas," Barger said.

The Top Developments In Altadena Following Eaton Wildfires
Source: Mario Tama / Getty Four months ago, the community of Altadena and its residents were forever changed when the devastating wildfires ripped through the area and caused a wealth of damage and despair. In the months since, there have been multiple developments that have occurred as the area attempts to restore itself to former glory, and residents commence the slow process of rebuilding their lives, homes and businesses that the Eaton wildfires destroyed. To provide an update on where things stand currently in Altadena, here is a list of some of the most important developments that have occurred in the community. Significant Increase In Crime Back in April, there were reports from local law enforcement that Altadena saw a significant increase in crime, largely due to theft and robberies in the area. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, crime has surged by 250% due to looting, robberies and other forms of theft. The following month, in an effort to prioritize the safety of Altadena residents, authorities employed the use of AI cameras to capture and process evidentiary information — such as license plates — to send real-time alerts to authorities. Clean Up, Debris Removal Stalled For Businesses One of the biggest and lingering issues facing Altadena is the continued delay of cleanup and debris removal for local businesses, which have been placed further down on the list of priorities in comparison to residential areas. Unlike their residential neighbors, Altadena businesses were tasked with the responsibility of cleaning up their properties, as no cleanup assistance or debris removal has been provided to any commercial properties. 'Commercial property debris removal is the responsibility of the property owner. Currently, USACE has no task from FEMA to execute commercial property removal,' the Army Corps confirmed via statement to the Los Angeles Times . Small Loans Offered To Local Businesses Prayers were answered and a form of relief was granted in early May when the Los Angeles County Development Authority, along with Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger, officially launched a disaster relief small business loan program for eligible Altadena establishments of up to $75,000. The program was established to help Altadena businesses begin to 'recover, rebuild and retain jobs.' Barger shared the mission behind the loan program, saying, 'The Eaton Fire devastated many in our Altadena community, and this program ensures we're providing real support where it's needed most.' 'Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy, and helping them get back on their feet is essential to restoring stability, jobs, and community spirit in the wake of disaster,' she added. First Home Rebuild Underway Looking at the initial aftermath of how the Eaton wildfires destroyed the Altadena community, many residents had no idea just how long it would take to get their homes rebuilt and restored, as they attempted to return to normalcy. However, the good news that the rebuilding process is making progress came in the form of resident Margot Stuebert, who was one of many who lost her home. Local work crews officially broke ground on Stuebert's rebuild in late April. 'It's the first day of my new life,' she said of the rebuilding of her home. 'After all the grief and loss, I now start to see myself here.' Former Black California Mayors Provide $1 Million In Relief Former California mayors, Aja Brown, who previously represented the city of Compton, and Michael Tubbs, former rep of Stockton, launched the wildfire relief initiative, the Dena Care Collective, that was directly distributed to Black Altadena families impacted by the Eaton wildfires. To date, $100,000 has been distributed to over 50 households in the community, and the Dena Care Collective plans to distribute a total of $1 million in recovery funding for impacted Black residents. The initiative is part of a long-term strategy aimed at keeping Black Altadena families in place.

Barger, Bass under fire for deleted messages during L.A. wildfires
Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger is facing growing scrutiny over her deletion of text messages during the devastating January wildfires, joining Mayor Karen Bass in drawing criticism for recordkeeping practices during a critical public emergency. Barger, who represents areas impacted by the Eaton Fire in Altadena, has acknowledged that her iPhone is set to auto-delete messages every 30 days and that she occasionally deletes texts manually. Her office confirmed the practice in response to a public records request, after Barger had publicly stated she was in communication with L.A. Mayor Karen Bass on Jan. 7, when the fires erupted. But when the Los Angeles Times submitted a records request for those messages, Barger's office was unable to provide any written correspondence. Similarly, Mayor Bass's office initially claimed messages were deleted but has since used forensic tools to recover the texts following public outcry. Critics say the lack of transparency undermines public trust, especially during high-stakes emergencies. While the county's record retention policy does not explicitly address text messages, it requires routine administrative records to be preserved for two years. California's public records law applies to texts if they pertain to official business, although some may be exempt from disclosure. The other four L.A. County supervisors reportedly do not use the auto-delete function on their phones. As calls grow louder for reform, the controversy has reignited debate about digital recordkeeping standards for public officials in Los Angeles, with lawmakers and watchdog groups calling for stronger guidelines to ensure public access to government communications in future crises.
