The American Red Cross is searching for new shelter accommodations after the Pasadena Convention Center requested the removal victims of the Los Angeles wildfires in order to return to its normal filming schedule this week.
The convention center is currently sheltering some 300 people who lost their homes in the Eaton fire, according to the Los Angeles Times. The Red Cross says it will continue to shelter the victims until more permanent housing is secured.
“While the Red Cross is working to accommodate this request, we have a team of shelter transition workers whose role is to help identify barriers for shelter residents to move on to the next step of their recovery,” the Red Cross told the Times.
The convention center plays host to “America’s Got Talent.” There is an upcoming event scheduled at the center on Feb. 12, but it is unclear what the event is for. The NAACP Image Awards will take place at the center later this month on Feb. 22.
“As we approach one month since the devastating wildfires across Southern California, we continue to cut red tape to speed up recovery and clean up efforts as well as ensure rebuilding efforts are swift,” Newsom said in a statement after the meeting. “We’re working across the aisle, as we always have, to ensure survivors have the resources and support they need.”

“Thank you President Trump for coming to our communities to see this first hand, and meeting with me today to continue our joint efforts to support people impacted,” he added.
