A recent report reveals that over 70% of individuals affected by January’s Palisades Fire in California are still residing in temporary accommodations.
The Department of Angels conducted a survey that included responses from 2,300 residents impacted by the fire across Los Angeles County, as cited by the Los Angeles Times. Findings indicate that 75% of respondents from Pacific Palisades and 67% from Altadena remain in provisional housing.

Roughly 75% of surveyed Pacific Palisades residents and 67% of surveyed Altadena residents are in temporary housing. Many expect they’ll have to move again in the next few months.

One of those who spoke at the confab was The Hills reality show star Spencer Pratt, who has become a leading advocate for the victims of the fires.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has been reported as attempting to shift attention away from the Pacific Palisades fire, which “destroyed 7,000 structures and killed 12 people in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu areas alone.”
Johnson previously suggested that the Senate “could subpoena” Newsom “to explain state and local failures during the Palisades Fire.”
