Wildfire Recovery Services

Were you impacted by the 2020 fires? We can help.

Recovery looks different for everyone, and our team will work with you to find the right support. From rebuilding homes to securing temporary housing, we provide resources that help you move forward with confidence.

Rebuild or Replace Your Home

Through the Homeowner Assistance and Reconstruction Program (HARP), we provide financial help to repair, rebuild, or purchase a replacement home. If you have already rebuilt, you may qualify for reimbursement of eligible costs.

Temporary Housing Support

Our Intermediate Housing Assistance (IHA) program helps survivors secure safe housing during recovery. Support may include rent assistance, deposits, and moving costs while you transition to a permanent home.

Path to Homeownership

With Housing Support Services (HSS), renters who lost homes in the fire can access counseling and down payment assistance to make homeownership possible. This program helps you take the next step toward stability and independence.
