A significant $2.6 billion emergency relief package has been approved by California's governor and legislature to address the ongoing crisis from recent fires. This funding, confirmed last week, aims to bolster crisis response and support rebuilding efforts across the state.

During the CalHFA General Board Meeting on January 28, 2025, Secretary Moss emphasized the importance of this financial aid, highlighting its role in facilitating various exemptions and relief efforts spearheaded by CalHFA and the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI). The unified command team, which meets daily, is tasked with coordinating these efforts across state government, ensuring a streamlined response to the disaster.

As the board prepares for upcoming leadership changes, further updates on the implementation of this relief package are expected after March. The meeting underscored the urgency of the situation and the collaborative approach being taken to address the needs of affected communities.
