Public Safety Cluster Meeting Transcript

Keeping Wildfire Impacted Workers Housed

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Horvath: Instruct County Counsel,

in collaboration with the Director of Consumer and Business Affairs, to return to

the Board at the February 25, 2025 Board meeting with a resolution to protect

each qualifying, income eligible tenant residing in the County from eviction for

non-payment of rent originally due between February 1, 2025, and January 31,

2026, as may be revised, renewed, or repealed by the Board ("protection

period"), where the tenant has been directly financially impacted by the

January 2025 Windstorm and Critical Wildfire Events (the "wildfire

emergency") by providing the tenant an affirmative defense against such

unlawful detainer actions:

The tenant must:

Have resided in their rental unit since before January 7, 2025;

Have a 2024 household income equal to or less than 150%

of the Area Median Income;

Be enrolled in or have applied to a wildfire relief program,

applied for unemployment benefits or other qualifying

income assistance program, or be actively seeking

employment; and

Inform their landlord in writing, within seven days of rent

being due for each month that rent is unpaid during the

protection period, or seven days after the resolution going

into effect for rent due for February 2025, that they are

unable to make their rent payment due to a direct financial

impact as a result of the wildfire emergency, and shall

attest, under penalty of perjury, to their income eligibility,

direct financial impact, and income replacement efforts;

The Director of Consumer and Business Affairs shall

within 14 days draft and make publicly available a

sample attestation form for tenants and landlords to

use, and shall solicit feedback from Stay Housed LA

and landlord representatives, where available, on

details to be included in such a form;

Financial impacts mean a qualifying, income eligible tenant's loss

of monthly income of at least 10%, income replaced through

unemployment insurance, emergency benefits, or any other

source shall be considered when calculating financial impact;

“Direct” financial impact means that the qualifying income eligible

tenant's place of employment or business was destroyed or

rendered uninhabitable due to the wildfire emergency and resulted

in actual loss of wages, the economic impact of the fires resulted

in their employer laying the qualifying income eligible tenant off or

reducing their work hours, or, a loss of the qualifying income

eligible tenant's clients who were located in the fire impacted areas

resulting in a loss of income;

A qualifying income eligible tenant shall repay any rental debt

incurred during the protected period within 12 months of the

expiration or termination of the protected period;

Any rental debt incurred during the protected period as a result of

the tenant being financially impacted by the wildfire emergency

shall be an affirmative defense to an unlawful detainer action, but

shall be recoverable by filing a breach of contract or other civil

action;

Prohibit landlords from imposing late fees, interest, or other

charges on rental debt incurred by a qualifying tenant who has

properly asserted the eviction protections;

Permit a landlord to challenge the factual basis for a tenant’s claim

of a direct financial impact, without penalty, by filing an unlawful

detainer action if a landlord reasonably believes that the tenant’s

attestation is materially false, incorrect, or fraudulent; and

These protections, except as otherwise indicated, shall remain in effect

through January 31, 2026, unless revised, renewed, or repealed by the

Board;

Direct the Chief Executive Officer, in coordination with the Director of

Consumer and Business Affairs, to report back to the Board in 30 days on the

development of the financial parameters of a fund to be managed by a third

party fiscal sponsor to provide flexible spending that supports impacted tenants

and landlords, which may include options to partner with philanthropy like the

Mayor’s Fund, receive private sector donations and provide relief and support

to those impacted by the windstorm and critical fire events and cannot pay their

rent, due to lost wages, the report should include additional “Plan Z” funded

programming currently allocated to Departments by program category and a list

of unspent funding currently with Departments that could potentially be directed

to those impacted by the fires, or other funding that could be redirected to the

program, funding shall be a minimum of $10,000,000; and

Instruct the Director of Consumer and Business Affairs to report back to the

Board in 60 Days on program design to include the following:

An estimate of the number of potentially impacted households, both

tenants and landlords, including an estimate of the number of households

which may not be eligible for other forms of assistance, the Director is

encouraged to seek research support from external philanthropic,

research, academic institutions, or others as needed;

Information on alternative programs potentially available for households

struggling with job loss and economic security, and resources that may

be available for landlords, as a result of the wildfire emergency and

generally; and

Recommended guidelines for prioritization for rental debt relief modeled

on the COVID 19 Rent Relief Programs including, but not limited to,

landlords and tenants located in the high and highest need geographies

as defined and identified in the LA County Equity Explorer within the

unincorporated areas of the County; landlords or tenants whose

household income is 80% or below of County Area Median Income;

landlords and tenants for which the rent relief grant will fully satisfy

tenants' rental debt; and landlords who own no more than four rental

units. (25-1118)
