• The LA County Household Relief Grant provides immediate financial relief for households impacted by the 2025 Eaton and Pacific Palisades wildfires. This grant is intended to provide emergency disaster relief and, as such, generally may not be considered taxable income and is unlikely to impact eligibility for public benefits. However, individual circumstances may vary. Recipients should consult with a tax professional or their benefits provider to understand any potential implications specific to their situation. The County of Los Angeles and its partners are not responsible for any impacts on taxes or benefits resulting from the acceptance of this grant.
• This grant aims to bridge financial gaps and promotes the general welfare of affected households until insurance or government recovery resources become available. This grant cannot duplicate other assistance received for the same expenses, including FEMA aid, insurance, or other relief programs. Recipients must certify that they have unmet financial needs not fully covered by other sources. For questions on how this grant may impact other aid, consult with the agency handling your aid application, seek legal aid, or speak with a tax professional.
