Foreclosure Relief for Wildfire-Affected Homeowners
There is a foreclosure moratorium for FHA-insured single-family mortgages in effect until July 7, 2025. It gives disaster-affected homeowners more time to focus on recovery without the fear of foreclosure.
If you need guidance exploring foreclosure prevention options, Department of Consumer and Business Affairs counselors are available to help. For more information, call DCBA at 800-593-8222 or visit dcba.lacounty.gov/foreclosure-prevention.
Moving Forward on Debris Removal
Property owners who opted out of the government-run program, choosing to hire private contractors for fire debris removal, can receive an Eaton and Palisades Fire Debris Removal permit via the County’s EPIC-LA system. This permit allows home and business owners—and their authorized private contractors—to manage their own debris removal efforts while ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal safety and environmental standards. For more details, click here.
If you have concerns over how private contractors are hauling debris, you can file formal complaints on The Works app or through the Opt-Out Fire Debris Removal Permits Hotline:1-888-479-7328. The hotline is open Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
