- Unused state fire relief funds could still help Altadena, Supervisor Barger says
Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger highlights the need to use remaining $2.5 billion wildfire relief funds to aid Altadena's recovery from the Eaton Fire. Over 75% of the funds remain unspent, with distributed money primarily covering emergency response costs, leaving insufficient resources for infrastructure and community rebuilding. Residents face ongoing displacement due to insurance delays and permitting challenges.
