Preserving Disaster Case Management for Eaton and Palisades Fire

Survivors

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisors Barger and Horvath: Direct the

Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with the Directors of Homeless Services

and Housing (HSH), and Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA), and the

Executive Director of the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA),

in coordination with the Director of the Office of Emergency Management

(OEM), Chief Executive Office (CEO), the Director of Public Social Services

(DPSS), and other relevant Departments, and in collaboration with 211 LA, the

Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA), the

Eaton Fire Collaborative, and the Long-Term Recovery Groups, to report back

to the Board in writing within seven days with an assessment and

recommendations on how the County could support continuity of disaster case

management services for Eaton and Palisades Fire survivors in the event of a

Disaster Case Management Program (DCMP) service interruption, including the

appropriate scope and duration of any County-supported intervention. This

report should include but not be limited to:

An analysis of the number of Eaton and Palisades Fire households at

risk of losing case management, breakdowns of residents by acuity tier,

including households on DCMP and community-based waitlists;

An assessment of existing County funding sources, contracts, and

programs that could serve as an interim bridge to sustain critical case

management services pending resolution of federal funding or State

assistance, including the anticipated duration, cost, and service capacity

of the potential bridge programming, along with potential philanthropic

partnerships coordinated through the CEO’s Center for Strategic

Partnerships;

Recommendations on an entity that can serve as a centralized point of

contact for survivors during any service interruption, including warm

referrals, consistent public messaging, and minimizing survivor

confusion;

An assessment of how existing County homelessness prevention, tenant

protection, consumer protection, benefits enrollment, behavioral health,

and rebuild programs, including the Altadena Rebuild Fund, can support

the Eaton Fire Collaborative (EFC) transfer pathway and address

identified survivor needs through referrals unmet needs assistance,

rebuilding, and continued case management;

An assessment of the capacity of community-based disaster case

management providers and the existing FEMA-funded DCMP providers to

absorb transferred cases, and the resources necessary to expand that

capacity, with priority for the estimated 400 to 500 cases that the Eaton

Collaborative estimates may require continued case management;

Strategies to prioritize households at greatest risk of homelessness,

including those reporting a need for immediate shelter or approaching

the end of temporary housing assistance; and

Any data-sharing, consent, or case-transfer considerations necessary to

ensure survivor records and case histories follow households across

providers.

Direct DCBA, in consultation with LACAHSA and the CEO, to evaluate options

to reprioritize some or some or all of the $2,000,000 in grant funding previously

provided to DCBA to provide legal services to support potential bridge

programming, including the programmatic and service impacts of any proposed

reallocation, and incorporate the assessment and recommendations into the

report back by Directive 1. The report back should also identify any delegated

authorities or other Board actions necessary to timely implement the

recommended bridge programming. Additionally:

Report back on the feasibility of re-purposing and allocating $1,500,000

of the County’s UA RPHP funds to provide funding for disaster case

management services, including the programmatic and service impacts

of any proposed reallocation.

Direct the Chief Executive Officer, through its Legislative Affairs and

Intergovernmental Relations Branch, to prepare a five-signature letter to the

FEMA Administrator urging the timely release of approved DCMP funds to

protect continuity of care for Los Angeles wildfire survivors and a five-signature

letter to the Governor requesting an interim funding mechanism to sustain the

program through its originally planned end date of January 8, 2028.

Direct the Chief Executive Officer, through OEM, to work with local nonprofits

and community groups including CORE, Eaton Fire Residents Untied, the EFC,

Catholic Charities, Wylie Center, Little Tokyo Service Center, Jewish Family

Services LA, American Red Cross, and Malibu Long Term Recovery Group, to

evidence that the January 2025 Windstorm and Critical Fire Events continue to
