The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors considered a report regarding pending federal disaster funds. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors reviewed this report to examine the current status of financial assistance following recent disasters.
During the review, Lindsey Horvath provided details regarding the timeline for the financial relief. As Lindsey Horvath told a local news report, "To date, less than $1.4 million has been released" twenty-two months after fires. Furthermore, Lindsey Horvath characterized the current financial state as a "pending obligation" to a local news report.
According to the administrative details of the county's recovery efforts, Los Angeles County applied for over $455 million for one hundred ninety fire-recovery projects. Despite these substantial financial requests submitted by the local government, less than $1.4 million has actually been released to the county twenty-two months after the fires took place.
In addition to the primary funding applications submitted for the one hundred ninety fire-recovery projects, the county also applied for about $347 million through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. To date, no Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding has been awarded to the county for the disaster. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors continues its formal evaluation of the report as proceedings move forward.
