LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Los Angeles has opened four new recovery centers where survivors of January’s wildfires can receive assistance for employment, family and business needs, Mayor Karen Bass announced Tuesday.
The Impacted Worker and Family Recovery Centers are open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the following locations:
— 5446 Sepulveda Blvd. in Culver City;
— 13356 Eldridge Ave. in Sylmar;
— 4305 Degnan Blvd. in west Los Angeles; and
— 2130 First St. in east Los Angeles.
“The workers, small business owners and families who lost their livelihoods in the recent fires live all across our city and region,” Bass said in a statement.
“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,” she added.
Additionally, visitors can get help finding emergency shelter and rental assistance, filing taxes, claiming up to $10K in tax credits and referrals to immigration services.
Residents can also find educational and mental health resources, as well as learn about available after-school programs.
The Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles will provide case workers who will provide personalized assistance and help Angelenos use the organization’s Relief Navigator, an online tool that can help curate a disaster action plan. The navigator can connect individuals with government programs, insurance assistance, home damage remediation and other resources.
