Governor Gavin Newsom spent the day on Capitol Hill meeting with key congressional leaders in both parties as part of his continued push to secure long-delayed federal wildfire recovery funding from the White House for Los Angeles families nearly one year after the catastrophic Palisades and Eaton Fires.

The City Council on Monday will consider amending its contract with Frame Group for disaster recovery consulting services to a total not-to-exceed amount of $1.45 million as the city continues recovery efforts from the Eaton Fire.

The California Department of Housing and Community Development reports that as a result of the 2021 wildfires the state of California received $24,408,000 in community development block grant disaster recovery funds to address disaster impacts and mitigate future disasters.

Income limits increased — up to $211,050 in Los Angeles County — expanding eligibility for families rebuilding after disasters.

Fires in Los Angeles and severe spring storms were the main drivers, according to a new analysis.
