LOS ANGELES — LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger Thursday urged local property owners to provide apartments for residents displaced by the Eaton Fire.

The LA County Development Authority is working with the American Red Cross to find one- and two-bedroom apartments within a 10-mile radius of the Eaton Fire. Rental units located in Pasadena, Glendale and Monrovia are "especially needed," according to Barger's office.

"We have an immediate need to support wildfire survivors who have been displaced from their homes and want to remain close to their communities," Barger, chair of the county Board of Supervisors, said in a statement.

"Many of these families are struggling to rebuild their lives while ensuring stability for their children. I urge property owners with available units to partner with us and provide a lifeline for those in need," she continued.

Renters will be responsible for paying rent just like any other private market tenant.

Property owners with available units are encouraged to contact LACDA at 626-586-1570, 626-586-1565 or via email at owner.services@lacda.org. Staff are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Spanish-speaking staff are available to assist as well. LACDA staff will conduct an initial assessment and forward property owner's contact information to the American Red Cross.

"Property owners are the key to helping the county's impacted residents start to rebuild their lives," Emilio Salas, LACDA executive director, said in a statement. "The LACDA is prepared to hear from property owners to connect them with the American Red Cross, so that together, we can serve as a bridge in this critical step for families to move forward."
