LOS ANGELES — On the eve of the anniversary of the 2025 Los Angeles fires, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced new investments in affordable housing across Los Angeles County aimed at helping survivors rebuild their lives and remain in their communities amid a tight rental market.
Less than a year after the fires displaced thousands of families, the Newsom administration has funded nearly 1,000 new affordable rental homes in Los Angeles County through state housing programs designed to reduce administrative barriers, accelerate construction timelines and lower costs. State officials said the funding is intended to stabilize housing for fire survivors and other residents without altering local zoning rules or neighborhood character.
“We are rebuilding stronger, fairer communities in Los Angeles without displacing the people who call these neighborhoods home,” Newsom said. “More affordable homes across the county means survivors can stay near their schools, jobs, and support systems, and all Angelenos are better able to afford housing in these vibrant communities.”…
